Poems by Richard G. Martin

I Picked Up The Picture by Richard Martin 165

I picked up the picture that you threw away
One that we made dear on our wedding day
You looked so lovely, with a smile on your face
And you could see in my eye dear, no one could take your place


You said you didn't love me, and you couldn't stay
And that you've grown to hate me more every day
You took out the picture and threw it on the ground
You said you'd be happy, with the new love you found


 
I looked at the picture and at your smiling face
One so beautiful, that God must have graced
Still, a pain fills my heart as I remember the day
You took out the picture and threw it away
