Photographs
Looking through our photographs
reliving days of old
as I wept,
I felt regret
for a love that had gone cold
How long had this been going on?
In every pose you’d smile
our wedding day;
the kids’ birthdays
pretending all the while
How could I have missed the signs?
Was I really that naïve?
Apparently,
you didn’t want me
and just couldn’t wait to leave
This picture shows our little girl
as she stands next to you
it seemed so odd
through your façade
I still didn’t have a clue
Here’s one of our honeymoon;
our son’s first day of school
You didn’t let on,
you’d soon be gone
I feel like such a fool!
Now looking through our photographs
my eyes are blurred with tears
your happy glow
was just a 'show'
to end in coming years
