One Last Time
He thought of all the times he held
her.
The promises he and she broke.
He reached in his wallet to look
one last time.
He thought of the time he gave
her in love.
He was poor but his heart was
bigger than the ocean.
He had a numbness in his heart
because he had to let go of that
wallet picture.
His hand was shaking because he
knew he had to look at her one
more time.
The memories of Niagara Falls,
holding her close, the smile she
had.
But he knew in his heart he had
to let go.
He looked at his beloved and he
tearfully wished her well.
His hand was trembling and his
heart was in pieces.
He went to the dumpster and
it was full of trash.
He didn't want her beauty with
the garbage.
He went inside and got an
envelope.
He placed the photograph in
the envelope.
He than asked her to forgive
him, letting go of the photograph.
It was finalized. He turned,
loosing a tear, and walked away.
