 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

Picture on a postcard


One more treasured memory cast into the wilderness
each and every day that I spend with you
always fighting frustrations with no sense of who I am
…always crying over things that you do
Once very sweet, as beautiful as I'd ever seen
…I fell for all the dreams that I dreamed
your kiss was so soft and you held me when I'd start to cry
…the softness of your touch would fool me
 but after so many years I know who you really are
…you are nothing that ever I dreamed
just a picture on a postcard sent to all your friends
with only memories of the failures in me!
