Empty Picture Frame
Empty picture frame
I have a frame with no photo or picture inside
I don't want a photo there because my past has died
I look at this which reflects my feelings and emotion
I can only fill it with a face that brings happiness and fortune
When you lose things that brings meaning to your life
Every day is empty and filled with loneliness and strife
The knowledge that I did nothing to make things go wrong
Brings more pain and my heart sings the saddest song
I feel as though I have been laid down to rest
Because loving you is like taking each living breath
You who gave me joy and pain I call by name
You are the reason, and you are my empty picture frame.
