The Photograph by Mark Spencer

Here I sit, with a broken heart,
my tears still haven't dried.
I gaze upon the photograph
of someone else’s bride.

Once her heart belonged to me,
a gift I held so dear.
But she'll be in his arms tonight,
and so I shed a tear.

If I had it to do over,
she would be my bride.
I wouldn't drive my love away
to save my stubborn pride.

She meant everything to me.
She taught me how to laugh.
And so my tears will fall tonight,
upon her photograph.

When we are going through something, sometimes, we do not understand for the longest time why we behaved certain ways, and why fate turned out to be so cruel, but in the long run the answers are often kinder than the past, and reveal to us the reasons why if we have patience.

Just the usual excellent work by Mark Spencer, Lovely, Poem.
Mark,

You always tell us something in such a way that we feel what you feel and on, and on. Everything has a clear message, you intimidate us with our own fears and show us the way out, you provide light where we have darkness and on and on.

To Lisa, I agree with you, actually, most of Mark's work could be put to music, I have heard his words in my heart many times. Good luck on your effort. Also, you might visit the musical thoughts category in this site, its on the front page. You will be impressed, I think.

Thanks Mark,
MartinV
