    Empty Picture Frame
    Where Our Smiles
    Used to Reside

    Empty Picture Frame
    That Once Decked
    Our Bedroom

    Empty Picture Frame
    Is Now Stored Away
    In Hopes of
    New Beginnings

    We were doomed
    From the start

    We were doomed
    From the start

    What did you
    Hope to Gain

    Taxi driver
    Truck driver
    Eating Scraps
    In the USA???

    Your Close Friend
    Who Conspired
    With You
    No longer talks to you

    Your Close Friend
    And his Wife
    Who knew your
    Evil Plot
    Now themselves
    Have

    Empty Picture Frame

    Empty Picture Frame

    Smiles Conceal
    Only Truth
    Can stand the
    Test of Time

    Empty Picture Frame
    In a Used Blue Bag
    In what was once
    "Our" bedroom closet

    That is where are all the
    Empty Picture Frame

    Maybe I can sell on Ebay
    Maybe I can sell on Amazon

    Alas

    We only have HOPE
    That new experiences
    Turn into new memories
    That give home to our

    Empty Picture Frame

    :hello:super beginning and superior conclusion. there is a picture in everybody's frame but with passage of time another picture takes its place and so on and on. when the latest spouse opened the frame it was discovered one below the other numerous pictures of ........
    2. A Room mate upon receipt of the photo of the lass for his approval, went to the mall to buy a picture frame; and he inserted in it the lass photo, and was showing to me, he was delivered a thick large envelope. He opened the envelope and found a photograph of a different lass, he immediately left me for picking another frame. After a decade or so, when I happen to meet him at his residence, there on the table I found two empty frames. Regards.
