If Shakespeare were to commit suicide
What would his suicide note say?
Would he talk about his broken heart?
And how his love would not stay?
Or would he talk of the item he used
To take his own life away?
He might have wrote:
I will hang myself with the rope of malice
Hung from the tree of jealously
He might have also wrote:
I will pierce my own heart
With the sword of destruction
Beaten between the hammer of hate and the anvil of anger
Made in the forge of Satin.
Since it is unknown what the note would say,
Everyone would wonder
If Shakespeare were to commit suicide
What would his suicide note say?


The author's comments:
I thought it would be ironic if Shakespeare were to go suicide after writing Romeo and Juliet.

life had i loved the more
had it but passed away
as quietly as the day
ebbs from the darkening star.
