Old World Juliette, it is a sad day which has come true. My skill with the English language failed me And I said things which no man should ever say to you.
We did come to date for a while like I had wished, But then it all came crashing down around us Because of those ill-advised words which I said In worse-fated moments of desire and despiration.
I wished to be the one, your protection against the world But all I did was turn and cut you down again. I claim to be a Modern Day Romeo, Thinking of us as star-crossed lovers destined to be,
But we, like the original pair of this namesake, are fated to be separated By the poison I have taken, crafted by my own hand And put in each arrow of each word to you I had spoken.
Then, in Juliette fashion, I came out of my stupor to find our love dead, Poisoned by my vial - by the vileness of my own creation, Stopped before the budding love-lily ever truly started growing.
