I came across a picture, <br />Two lovers hand in hand, <br />They’re strolling in the sunset, <br />Both barefoot in the sand. <br /> <br />They’re gazing at each other, <br />The way all lovers do, <br />It’s such a lovely picture, <br />So strange, he looks like you. <br /> <br />But tell me, who’s the lady, <br />You’re just about to hold, <br />She doesn’t look a bit like me, <br />I wouldn’t be so bold. <br /> <br />And tell me why you keep it, <br />Hidden secretly away, <br />Did you think I wouldn’t find it, <br />What are you going to say. <br /> <br />The proof is there for all to see, <br />You’re playing away from home, <br />You say the trip was business, <br />But you were not alone. <br /> <br />You found another woman, <br />To pass off as your wife, <br />I can’t believe the pain I feel, <br />What will happen to my life. <br /> <br />I made my plans around you, <br />Sacrificed so many years, <br />I’m faced now with betrayal, <br />And angry, bitter tears.<br /><br />Linda Harnett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-came-across-a-picture/
