A Picture from the Past
Just a picture from the past--
A distant memory.
I wonder where you are now.
Whether near or far--I know not.
You took your love from me.
You gave it to another.
I never dreamed it would be my own brother.
Now you are gone.
Now I am torn--
Should I be lonely and blue
Or happy that I am rid of you?
You're just a picture from the past--
Only a distant memory.
One that gets weaker and dimmer each and every day.

Post a CommentThanks so much Barbara Lee for the very nice comment on A Picture From the Past. I love sad poems, but my sad ones usually aren't based on anything from my own life. I am for the most part a happy go lucky person with very few cares, and least of all having an untrue wife. I would trust her with my very life.
Thanks again.

Sounds lke she's still pretty vivid in the character's mind. Very nice poem.
Thank you Katlyn, I appreciate your having commented on this one very much. Can you tell me why your name says block user on it? I didn't block you.

Nice poem, Johnny. This line "I never dreamed it would be my own brother" gives the poem even more impact!
Thanks Kathryn!
