LEFT OVER LOVE

LEFT OVER LOVE

There's the picture we had taken
When we were still together
And there's the ring you gave me
When you said it was forever;
There's the sheets we laid on
And your swimtrunks too
There's your bike in the yard
But baby, where are you?

There's the beer in the fridge
There's tall grass on the lawn
A sign says "HOUSE FOR SALE"
Does this mean that you've gone?
There's the baby's carriage
And there's the new doghouse
I wonder what has happened?
I wish I were a mouse.

There's a note on the fridge
It has my name on it
I take in my trembling hands
And find a place to sit;
It says that you're not coming back
And as I leave your house
I pick up all my clothes
But, that's someone's else's blouse!

There's lipstick on your collar
Even on your underwear
And as I run to escape
It's more than I can bear;
'Cuz there's a photo on the floor
That's been torn into
Our baby's in the middle
Of one of me and you.

There's the writing on the wall
As I lay my housekey down
And when I check the closet
I see my wedding gown;
I leave it with the set of rings
We had shaped like a dove
Just a sad reminder now
Of left over love..........
