Moonlight Truth

Mercutio stared between the branches, the full moon shone brightly on the couple on the balcony. Their tender kisses were visible and Mercutio looked pained. He could only imagine what it would be like to be in Romeo's arms, him tasting his lips, instead of the foolish child.

Whispered sentiments could be seen being uttered between the pair. It was after the Capulet ball and Mercutio had escaped Benvolio to return. He knew Romeo was there and had intended to get him out of making a fool of himself. Only it was too late.

The young Capulet had run back inside and Romeo was dismounting from the balcony. The trees hid Mercutio's escape over the walls. His heart had been destroyed as his feelings were shown.
