Romeo and Juliet

In the silent void your voice has left,
I cannot seem to find myself.
I am locked inside this private hell,
When all I did was wish you well.
Now alone and lost again,
It seems I’ve lost another friend.
Here in the shadows of my heart,
It seems that I have mastered my art.
My tongue weaves persuasion,
Manipulation, vexation.
And you swallow it all,
Without hesitation.
Why are you so eager
To fall to your knees?
Are you really that willing,
That desperate to please?
I know what you want,
What you desire the most.
You’ll never have it,
So give up your hope.
Your tears are pathetic,
So cry no more.
Simply close your eyes,
And fall to the floor.
I brush my fingertips across your lips...
And give you your final,
And only kiss.
The sweet lined with poison,
The taste full of sorrow.
For I fear the silence when
We awake tomorrow...
Three others like this.

Exactly what kluny said, just maybe lose the font or some of it and itll be easier to read and it will have more impact
well done though :)
That is just fascinating. I don't think I've ever seen a poem use emphasis like that as a part of the form. It slightly gets in the way of the meaning of the poem, but it's very interesting. A.
