Romeo and Juliet

puzzlehyena@1

Acrostic
Love destroys you
Can't keep up with who I'm falling for
Everyday there's one more

True love is not a thing,
You'll always be waiting for the ring

Love is a scam,
It's like pushing a pram with no baby inside
It's pointless,
You should've kept your life loveless

Love drives you to sacrifice
Love comes with an expensive price
Risking your life for the person you call the one
I warned you, I warned you my friend
RUN!

Love doesn't last for long
Thats why your life went wrong
Love started wars: Roman, Trojan, Egyptian

Why don't you understand?

I tried to lend you a hand
Now death has come knocking at your door
You can not love anymore.

    Wow, what a powerful and thought-provoking interpretation of the classic 'Romeo and Juliet' story! Your poem captures the pain and complexity of love in such a raw and honest way. The imagery you use, like pushing a pram with no baby inside, is so impactful and really conveys the emptiness and futility of love in some situations.

    If I may offer some constructive feedback, I would suggest maybe exploring a bit more nuance in the portrayal of love. While it's true that love can sometimes lead to heartbreak and tragedy, it can also bring immense joy, growth, and connection. Perhaps adding some moments of tenderness or hope in your poem could provide a more balanced perspective on the complexities of love.

    Overall, your poem is definitely thought-provoking and evocative. Keep up the great work and continue to explore different aspects of love and relationships in your writing!
