Juliet
is all slick and wet
her long hair in her eyes
she has been hit by an idiot
drunk driving by ……………. bye bye

Romeo
roams idly past 
he sees the girl on the ground
he looks at her - quizzically 
then he realises what he has found

Juliet
breathes in gasps
as blood pools under her back
she looks up, sees Romeo
last look, last love
as her limbs go slack

Romeo’s
not much you know
but this time things are different
He wipes the hair from her glazed eyes
and wonders where her life went

Juliet
rises above the scene
she watches Romeo
He cradles her head
gently in his lap
he whimpers out a moan

Romeo
struck by love’s full fist
his only love has gone
he whines, he weeps at his loss
death into his soul is born

Juliet 
bears final witness to 
Romeo’s last testament
“Did my heart truly love till now?”
he whispers

------------------------------------------
For the first time 
he knows of true love and grace
“Good night, good night”
“Thus with a kiss I too die”
He declares to her still and pallid face

Romeo 
bends his head down
and tenderly brushes her cold blue lips with his own

he softly places her head on the ground 
a final look to the only love he has known
he lies quietly beside her
he takes her right hand in his left

Romeo
retrieves a switchblade knife
from his trouser ‘s pocket
meant for rivals never his life
and yet, he eases the blade into his chest
dividing his ribs apart
the sharp-edged steel slides smoothly
it finds his broken heart

As blood pools under his back
he has nothing more to say
onto the cold hard tarmac
his life also leaks away 

Juliet 
utters one last cry of grief
before she disappears forever
or was that one last plea for relief
in hope somewhere they will reappear together 

for never was there a story that reeks of more woe 
than this tragic tale of Juliet and her Romeo
