Poetry: #36

She introduced herself as Juliet
And portrayed the role of a perfect bride. 
Our hearts united the moment we met,
The touch of her lips forced time to subside.

But a lethal venom lied in her kiss,
Slowly poisoning her false Romeo.
Promises of a never-ending bliss
Turned into a morrow tainted with woe.

Now, fair Romeo is stricken with gloom,
Yet I will not allow this awful ache
To corrupt the path that leads to my tomb,
On a new Juliet, chance I will take.

A feeling of love I never shall fear,
Even if more fake Juliets appear.
