Empty envelopes on the
ground
Addressed and stamped
Never postmarked were found
You said you sent me something
But only nothing is what came
No response is what you got
To a message said so plain

If Romeo and Juliet
Were here with us today
I’m sure we’d share their names
A most tragic love story
A potent play of perfect love,
stolen away

You wrote me love letters
Love letters
You sent me love letters
Love letters
Your heart to me in ink
Your love letters, love letters
That never got to me

Thieves and liars, the jealous
Hate the beautiful things
Assumptions and rumors
Interference blocked our way

You had it planned
To meet me in the night
To take me away
Thinking things were fine
But I thought you didn’t care
I never saw the signs
No reply was a message
A loud message of denial
You were everything to me
Losing you, I’d rather die

I tried poison of all kinds
When you arrived and found me
Self destructing in your eyes
Confusion on all sides
Never knowing
You wrote me love letters

I would never try to hurt you
What you saw cut you to the core
So much fury, intense pain to you
Shame and devastation on me
Once I learned the truth
you came for me
I never knew

You wrote me love letters
Love letters
You thought you sent
Love letters
Your heart to me in ink
Your love letters, love letters
That never got to me

“For never was a story of more woe,
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.” *
