Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet fell in love
their families were worst of enemies
as though he fit on her hand like a glove
Romeo was hiding out in the trees
they the enemies, were star-crossed lovers
the lovers hoped to take the vows of marrige
they made love underneath the covers
they did not ride in a carrige
this happened in the fourteenth century
her mother wished for her to marry Paris
the ending of their lives' are tradgidy
they misobayed Verona's king, Escalus
this was love that could not be seen by eyes
Romeo and Juliet took their lives
