Nothing On Me

by Poetess Lana   May 15, 2006


Juliet loving Romeo
has NOTHING on how I
feel about you...
(although I'm not sure
I would kill myself, unless
you died too.)

You are my Romeo,
although I am only your
Mercutio, and never will be
anything more.

Your Juliet is another,
prettier, smarter, (I hope)
and way more popular than me...
(like that matters)

Still,

Juliet has nothing on me.
I dream of you,
I want to be yours,
I want you to be mine,
Or at least look at me,
the same way you look at her.

She is your Juliet,
You are my Romeo,
I am your Mercutio,
Nothing more.
But I love you, all the same.

    This is both sad and happy. I like it. Good job, and yes you can use that line in one of your poems if you want. :]

    Interesting way of writing. I liked the way is was a narrative inside a narrative, the way you commented on your own writing. I thought that was quite funny and you could have gotten away with using it more.

    Although those bits were quite funny, It was still easy to see the underlying emotion/s the sadness and longing, which we all experience in unrequiting love.

    My only issue would be your use of punctuation, the full stops made the poem fragmented and interrupted which was quite annoying while I was reading, as I wanted to get completely into the piece. I think it would be better if you took them out, and the effect would not be lost as you have used spaces between lines as well.

    You took the feelings and wrote well about them, I think removing the punctuation would make all the difference.

    Keep writing and improving, katie!

    I know what you're talking about, and I guess I'm a little biased cuz I know everything you're talking about from your experiances, but still a great poem and a fun read.
