Return to Sender
Signed sealed, not delivered
Letter lost, or marked
Return to sender,
The original owner received the letter
With words professing his love
Of course words meant for her
No other woman existed in his world
Love returned to its rightful heart
Stronger than before, forever lasting
Miles away another faded into gray skies above
Never hearing back from her one true love
She let go of hope, waiting, air
She couldn’t keep living without him there
Hidden secrets better never kept,
Demons in the dark crept
They froze her in place
Numb and dying, sobbing and crying
As he turned away, happy he stayed.
Her bleeding heart placed in a box
Addressed to him,
he simply placed it in a bag
and dropped it in the river
Nothing left of her broken heart
Tired of hearing her cry forever
how it was from the start
For the beautiful poet
And his wife.
Happy couple
Happy life
Miles away no one saw
Her light go out
He never called
She had no air,
she had to leave
Sometimes he remembers her
she had beautiful eyes of green
once they were there to admire
Now never to be seen
