Romeo and Juliet looked into each others eyes,
Neither one of them knew because of their love for each other they would soon die.
Juliet had been told to stay away from Romeo,
Her family just couldn't understand how she loved him so.
Juliet always wanted to keep Romeo at her fingertips,
Romeo always loved it when he had the chance to kiss Juliet's sweet lips.
Juliet knew she would be in trouble if her father knew she loved the son of his greatest enemy,
Juliet also knew that if she didn't get away soon, she would never have the chance to be happy.

Juliet couldn't stand hearing stay away from Romeo and that is a command,
Juliet wanted to marry Romeo but she knew that her parents would never understand.
Juliet soon heard about her cousin and Romeo being in a fight,
Juliet heard about Tybalt's death, but was determined to hold on to Romeo with all her might.
Before Juliet could see Romeo he had been sent away,
Juliet thought that she would never get to see Romeo again after that day.
No one could understand that Juliet loved Romeo so much,
Juliet had to find some way to keep in touch.

Juliet had to find some way to keep her parents from keeping her and Romeo apart,
She was not about to be to let her parents cause her to be alone with a broken heart.
Juliet sent a message to tell Romeo what she was going to do,
She never even thought about what would happen if the message didn't get through.
When Romeo came back to find his Juliet,
Romeo saw something that he would never forget.
He saw Juliet lying there lifeless and her body so cold,
Romeo wish that he could have some how been told.

Romeo had to find someway to be with Juliet again,
Romeo knew that the only way was to have his life come to an end.
He drank the bottle of poison and fell lifeless to the floor,
When Juliet awoke, she could not figure out what he had done this for.
Juliet then realized that the message did not get through,
The only way Juliet would ever see Romeo again would be to take her life too.
Juliet noticed there was no poison to be found,
All she could do is search around.

Juliet searched Romeo and finally found his knife,
She yelled out 'happy dagger' and then she took her life.
Romeo and Juliet's parents could not believe their kids lives had to come to an end,
The Montague's and Capulet's decide to quit being enemies and finally become friends.
Romeo and Juliet together till the last breath,
Romeo and Juliet live on even after death.
