Romeo & Juliet Poem by Leanna Page Markgraf

This is the story of young lovers
who was ready for forever to start.
They had to keep the romance secret,
Their families war kept them apart.

She cried every night
and prayed for a miracle to come.
He couldn't take it anymore,
His life dark without the sun.

Their families fought for blood
Every day the hate grew.
To finally be free from this place,
They knew what they'd have to do.

To keep their love alive,
They made up a plan,
Tonight's going to be the night
We leave this place hand in hand.

Their families found out the truth
But now must live with regret.
Even war cannot stop true love,
now that's the end for Romeo & Juliet.
