romeo and juliet but from the viewpoint of juliet’s maid.

tell me, juliet,

what do you see in him?

he’s not that great of a guy,

why do you love him so much?

juliet, your parents don’t even like him.

his parents don’t even like you.

so why do you continue going to him?

why not me?

i may not be prince charming,

or even a prince,

or even a man at that point,

but i’m sure i’d be a much better suitor for you. 

yes, i’m aware of my gender

and how that may cause complications,

but still.

why not me?

hey, juliet,

will you ever look my way?

will you ever see me the way i see you?

will you ever notice how much i love you?

i’ve been here since the beginning, 

you met him how long ago, only 2 weeks ago?

you haven’t even known him that long, 

and yet you still want to be his.

why not be mine?

i’ve loved you ever since i met you,

we’ve been through so much together,

are you really going to throw that all away for some imbecile of a man? 

juliet, i love seeing you smile,

but could you not when you’re with him?

i don’t want him falling more in love with you

when you belong to me. 

juliet, i’m hurting.

i’m in pain.

juliet, you’re hurting me.

you’re causing me pain.

stop looking at him,

stop talking to him,

stop being with him,

stop falling in love with him. 

look at me,

talk to me,

be with me,

fall in love with me.

juliet, you really are a fool.

you took your own life for a man

because you couldn’t live without him.

i can’t believe you.

but i guess i don’t have the right to talk,

for i was a fool for falling in love with you,

a fool for thinking i could ever be by your side,

a fool for wanting something i couldn’t have.
