Author's note: I couldn't mention this in the summary, but this poem is inspired by the counter melody of Romeo and Cinderella, sung by Jubyphonic on Youtube. I tried putting in a little old English with (mostly just 'hath', to give it a little effect of the past) with modern...and I hope you guys like it! Also, '*' indicates a new stanza
Side A- 'Romeo' and Juliet: A fleeting love
*'Twas a upon a time wherein two lovers loved;
The man, her 'Romeo',
The woman, his Juliet;
No twosome were ever to be so doomed.
*Juliet, so innocent and naïve,
So wholesome, and,
Tightly wrapped in the arms of amour;
Gave everything up to him.
*Innocence turned to lust,
Joy became sorrow,
And light bore fruit to darkness.
He hath left.
*Yet she waited,
Refusing the bitter verity,
Refusing to blink ever again,
Afraid to lose him forever, afraid to let it end.
*Their love, cursed and never meant to be,
Their time, fleeting and never returning,
Their hands, never meeting again.
She hath weeped.
*Yet she waited, still.
Days to months, months to years—
'Till one morn did catch sight of him;
And her tears turned to smiles.
*But, nothing was as before.
He had another.
His, 'Cinderella';
His...true love.
*Burning her insides,
The poison called jealousy,
Raging her mind,
She hath whelped a terrible monster.
*It tortured and hounded relentlessly,
It devastated and loathed wildly,
It strived to murder the oneness of 'Cinderella' and 'Romeo';
Yet in place, it hath murdered only Juliet.
*Feeling pity,
Almighty above freed her,
Granting freedom from the constricting bonds,
Granting freedom to live on.
*Once the chains of love broke,
And the blindfold lifted,
She could finally see—
And she finally accepted.
*The love was never hers to be.
Though her pain never subsided,
Though her smiles would never return,
*She bid farewell.
And then she left.
Gone without a trace.
Gone without legacy.
Just…gone.
