What if..?

(The scene rises. Juliet awakens next to Romeo after he has taken the poison. In his hand is a letter addressed to Juliet. A gift, perhaps, he would bestow to her upon arriving to the afterlife where he mistakingly thought she had gone.)

Juliet: Romeo! No! What has thy done!

(She opens the letter only to become grief stricken by tears burning firecely from her eyes. He wrote this...she could tell.Sobbing, she reads it aloud.)

Juliet:

My Dearest Juliet,

Thou light hath seeth,
From thy cheeks,
Leaving bittersweet,
Blood-soaked... memories,
Thy hath found,
To whom might of been,
Thy once lively,
Juliet,
Thou I hath cried,
On many a fears,
Not one 'caused,
So many tears,
In thy arms,
I shall rest,
Breathe you in,
Thy final breaths,
We shall meet,
When thee posion reaches my heart,
For not in thy love,
Will death do us part..

(She tries to kiss Romeo's mouth, seeking any form of poisonous resude. She found none.In dispair she grabs Romeo's dagger.)

Juliet: O happy dagger! This is thy sheath; there rust, and let me die..

(Falling over next to Romeo. She reaches to touch his cold face.)

Juliet: I love..
(Juliet's eye close.)
End Scene.)
