The Compilcations of decision making  

Everything fell silent
I couldn't even hear myself think
They were all waiting for me to say I Do
I wanted to swallow my tongue, to end it all now
Romeo would never forgive me
I need not worry about him
I was to be wed to Paris, and that I shall
My family would never approve of me and Romeo being together
What happened to true Juliet?
The girl who fought for her life?
I Do
Sounded more like Guilty as I said it
Goodbye Romeo
We kiss, with little passion
Paris's lips feel wrong against mine
With an unpleasant warmth

I was such a coward, why did I let him go so easily?
I remembered long romantic conversations we had shared
I promised him my life, than to rather leave
I lied
It was to late to take it back now
Paris was my husband

I begin frowning at the thought
Romeo bursts through the door
Everyone stares at him

He runs over to me
Juliet, I love you
He draws his sword, and holds it to Paris's throat
Paris gives me one final cold look, before Romeo drives the sword through
