How I Hate to Love You

You are my beloved, and yet you are my enemy...
Why must my only love be born from my only hate?
Our love is sacred but dreadfully tainted...
So for our sake we must abandon these emotions;
For they will only lead us to pain
Your family destroyed mine, leaving me utterly alone;
Even those closest to me ask why I fell in love with one such as you
All I can do is stand there, holding back tears
Yes, your kin slaughtered mine, but I cannot deny my heart...

We are of different worlds...

A beautiful, bloodstained tragedy, one might put it
But how can it be tragic when we have experienced the joys of love?
People tell me I shine more brightly now a days, and that my feelings are plain to see
But it is a painful love; one which in turn eats away at my soul
I wish to follow my own path, yet my duty always seems to get in the way...
My role is to take back my country from those who reign upon it.
We could be a magnificent romance, greater than any before
But I can never be a part of such a story, no matter what we do...

Like the Montagues and the Capulets we are; forever torn apart...
History may remember me as a great ruler, one who suffered
Or perhaps as a fool who let happiness pass right by...
One thing is for sure though; I will die alone no matter my title,
For I shall have no other by my side...

So pure yet forbidden, I wish upon you every happiness one may have in life
Farwell and good luck, we shall not meet again...
Angels of Heaven do weep for our bleeding hearts
Adieu, mon amour, let our light never fade...
