Dying Romeo

Death likened to a sweetest escape Encompasses me about. The suffering Of the weary and weak at heart is Finally to be rectified. To know no More another daybreak, and to die As death passes slowly over me, Sufficient enough is life's debt Repaid.

A blackened tomb ere my lady waits, Never to feel lights warmth again. She calls ever silent and in love Do i go, to face cold death for in Death lies my love.

This piece was both romantic and bone-chilly creep at the same time, two of my favorite things in literature I might add.

this piece is very strong and riley is right in his comparison to shak. and ed. this is deep and very easy to relate to which makes it fun to read. one thing you could improve on is making the lines in stanza form.

beautiful writing

i read a few of yours and feel as though you have great potential to be a spectacular adult writer

As Baby V said, this makes me very reminiscent of Shakespear, which i love.

You really showed your message greatly, andi was able to understand it in one slick, meaningful read, a feat Mr Shakespear never accomplished with me, well done!
