"Our Story Ends Here"
By Eugene Koh
Oh Hermia, lady of Athens,
Daughter of Egeus, betrothed to Demetrius,
I cannot stand to be with you, a second more,
For a second each is an eyesore.
My judgement was blind, as of whence I swore,
I see no reason why I did swore, true!
Now my heart hath followed my true,
Helena, angel of angels, divine is she!
I knew not whence I had seen her looks;
But her eyes just lured me like a hook.
Her hair, long, slender, just like a nymph,
The little thing, romantic, in the wind.
Demetrius, that old bastard, I must say,
He is lucky for today,
He is better off with you;
And I judge myself as more just than not.
But alas, he, that old crook he is!
Going for one when he has you,
Great folly! It is told, Great folly of his!
For he cannot step down the betrothed wish!
So, go, Hermia, forget about me,
Your fate and destiny lies in him,
I will take Helena as my love,
But pardon her, it was her fault.
