Juliet Capulet Apparent Doom

Santajah Douglass

God Romeo, what was I thinking?

I didn't want to marry Count Paris,

But I had just met you, and this

Wasn't a love to die for, I literally died

For loving you, that was madness.

 

God Romeo, you were not meant for me,

And I'm not Juliet, you see,

I'm just a girl who was desperate to get out

Of an arranged marriage, and yet I ended up married anyway.

 

Romeo, this wasn't love in three days,

We both left chaos in our paths

And left broken hearts all around.

Romeo, you were already playing with fire,

Thirsting after my cousin wasn't going to love you,

And I was desperate and fell for your charms too.

 

Marrying my supposed enemy's son

Was better than the count, and yet I foolishly became undone.

Pray tell, this was not love but a disaster

That spiraled out of control.

This was not love, and I was never happy

Doing as I was told, waiting for you to come back

And fill me with things I thought I wanted

Just to end up dead and very highly disappointed.

 

Romeo, you were not for me.

I was just greedy for a different life,

A different path that I let a naive man

Be the end of my everything.

You can almost say I died by your hands too,

I had a choice, but was there really nothing else I could do?

I was very much a fool.

 

Oh yes, Romeo, I was not meant for you.

 

In the depths of my despair, I found myself

Lost in a world of forbidden passion.

An arranged marriage seemed suffocating,

A life predestined, lacking true compassion.

 

But in my haste to escape, I stumbled into your embrace,

Foolishly believing in love's enchanting grace.

Yet, we were but two souls driven by lust,

Leaving destruction in our wake, breaking trust.

 

You, Romeo, with your impulsive desires,

Chasing after my cousin with burning fires.

I, Juliet, blinded by the possibility of freedom,

Fell victim to your charm, your sweet serendipitous kingdom.

 

Marriage to Paris seemed a mundane fate,

But little did I know, the mistake I would make.

For in my desperate quest for a different life,

I unleashed a hurricane of pain and strife.

 

Our union brought forth not romance, but chaos,

Leaving shattered hearts engulfed in loss.

I longed for your return, for a love that never was,

Only to find death awaiting, an eternal pause.

 

Was this the love I so naively sought?

A fantasy turned nightmare that I never thought?

Romeo, you were not meant for me,

For I was but a pawn in a tragic decree.

 

The fires of passion burned bright but quick,

Leaving us both to suffer wounds that won't ever heal.

I perished not only by my own hand,

But by the weight of a love that was never real.

 

Oh Romeo, we were never meant to be,

Yet I pursued you with an unrelenting plea.

Now I lie here, a broken girl with shattered dreams,

Longing for a life beyond this tragic scheme.

 

In the end, it was not true love that I sought,

But an escape from a life I was never meant to be caught.

So, God Romeo, I ask for forgiveness and release,

For I was lost in a whirlwind, longing for peace.

 

Now, as I depart from this earthly realm,

Let my story serve as a cautionary helm.

Beware the allure of forbidden fruit,

For it may consume you and leave you destitute.

 

God Romeo, what was I thinking?

I didn't want to marry Count Paris,

But I had just met you, and this

Wasn't a love to die for, I literally died

For loving you, that was madness.

 

Oh Romeo, you were not meant for me,

And I'm not Juliet, you see,

I was just a girl desperate for a different life,

But instead, I found only despair and strife.
