This is a story that breaks the hardest of hearts

A story of a love that was doomed from the start

Two young people whose love was true

Said Romeo to Juliet, “I will always love you”

Said Juliet, “I will love you forever and pray you’ll love me

But alas their love sadly was not to be

For their families were in conflict so this love was doomed by hate

Though their passion was fervent sadness was their fate

Romeo and Juliet carried their love to their death

Declaring their devotion as they drew their last breath

Only then did their families realize the pain they had wrought

Only then did they declare an end to the war they had fought

They mourned for the two lovers whose lives were now finished

Declared one to the other, “We are all on this day punished”
