A tale of woe for forsaken Romeo
So this is the tale
Of the one who
was not so pale
and therefore unlike the others
Skip forwards to year eighteen
In this year enters adoration
but that is now gone and been
lonliness smothers
Beauty was close
But couldn't stay
such a prickly rose
of so bittersweet possibility
An angel in name and all
But a friend not a lover
her refusal caused this fall
gone is nobility
She choose other
Taller and stronger
my platonic brother
who I now come to hate
He charms her
without trying
vile monsieur
heartbroken state
So end this part of the tale
Of this unfateful one
and I miss the painful detail
my heart is another's
But she does not care for it.

i like it when you use fictional characters such as romeo and othello and you adapt them to your poems. it's an interesting view

Sometimes I just seem to synchronise perfectly with a character and are emphatic for their plight. Tragic heroes (or heroines should the case arise) are simply brilliant because of how they refuse to give into the overpowering pressure of the story, that is, until they inevitably (as it is a tragedy) die.
