Lamentable woe (Friar's point of view)

O I certainly do hope this works
All I want is the best for them
I really want their relationship to work out
And perchance even end this painful feud
My plan was brilliant and it would have worked
How was I to know that a ghastly plague had struck the town?
How would I know that fate would somehow intervene and cause such distress?
O dastardly fate! How cruel thou art!
Leaving Romeo none the wiser as he ventured off to find his love pretending to be dead
Entombed among the dead  
So grief-stricken was he that he even took his own life
Dousing the intoxicating drugs
Next to his dear Juliet
O Juliet, Juliet! Poor, poor Juliet!
To awaken from your slumber and find your love dead is a horror I could not brave
And so she too took her life, the darling child
Plunging a dagger straight through her heart
The heart that so loved Romeo it would stop beating for him
O woe is me!
O woe to the Montagues!
O woe to the Capulets!

O woe!

Foolhardy love (an entry from Juliet Capulet)

Giddy
Vibrant
So full of possibility and hope and wonderful prospects and…
Love
He is amazing
He is brilliant
He is everything I imagined my husband to be
I’ve known him for less than a day
But that’s enough to know
Our love is true and will last forever
Our families will support us
They will have to
And if not, we can just run away together
Romeo and I
Together, inseparable; us against the world
Nothing can stop us
Nothing and anything except…

Death
