Paige Hildebrand Poet Sonnet

A Lover's Death

Drink a brief death she did 
As it drained her youthful soul
Disproving nature’s course and rid 
Her breath, she was no more

Lying eyes upon the face 
Of her doom ridden love
She chose her fate and gave chase
 Beyond her silken glove

In desperate love and desperate times 
Her tears caused a stir
Her father called for wedding chimes
And worsened the state of her 

At last came her dire fate as we did foresee 
She took a vial from her monk and said 
Romeo, Romeo, Romeo I drink to thee
