Picture

I used to stare at your picture
As I laid in bed
And every night I kissed it
Before laying down my head

When the summer grew cold
And the leaves all died away
I stared at your picture
And begged God to let you stay

The snow began to fall
As the pillows caught my tears
I smeared them on the picture
That I once held so dear

Finally spring came around
And all the anger grew
After all that time I realized
I'm not in love with you

So I tore the picture down
And I left it beside the bed
And I didn't cry a tear that night
When I laid down my head

Then the anger grew to hate
That I knew I'd couldn't’t forgive
So I shred the picture up
And realized I would live

I never want to see the face
That once haunted my dream
How could I cry over him
Guess love wasn't want it seemed

My heart didn't stop
Didnave to catch my breath
You never caught me when I fell
Into the darkest depth

Didn’t think I would make it
But then I saw your face
The picture that hung on the wall
That my mind will not erase

The anger grew back
And it remains to this day
You made me stronger in the end
And I threw that picture away
