Ophelia

Updated: Feb 21, 2024




Grieving her beloved father deceived

Yet unable to shake off her feelings for

The one she loved, also the reason

for her beloved's demise

Competing the madness of her lover, Hamlet

Alas, his was feigned, aimed at gain

While hers was rooted in genuine loss

Leading her at last to losing her life as well

Madness, like true love, afterall deserves but one place

At the bottom of a heart or a brook deep enough

To drown all the grief and innocence

While the artful lunacy ascends the throne

Wearing a crown of shrewdity adept

Having at last shaken off the act

Would Hamlet's heart ever beat

For the poor Ophelia

Who lived and died for zilch
