One moment captured for the future and viewed in
the present
Memories of old and feelings alike...Don't seem
so distant
So beautiful is she...Even through my blurred
vision
Thousand words per picture...None can describe
what im feeling
Cascading tears and blood intertwined amongst
shattered glass
A shattered past...Broken heart that you cant fix
with a cast
Walk passed each other...Forced to put on a mask
But happy is she...Just like the pictures in view
One of us molded like one entity...Kissing after
school
Another standing by the pool...Lauging,this sound
I can still hear
Echoing in my ears...Her voice, it's just like I was
there
Going out for years...But now these lossed moments
just result in tears
For now i close my eyes and let my sleep render me
there

A thousand words and moments viewed in one picture
A thousand ways i wish i could relive these
pictures

The old man was standing there, in his hand there
was a broom,
Lost in a world of memories, as he looked around
the room.
He sat down in his favorite chair, the one she
picked out,
It was old and soft and slightly worn, comfortable
without a doubt.
A tear crept slowly down his cheek, as he opened
the photo book,
Pictures of youth and love and life, pictures of
her that he took.
There she was in her wedding gown, was that so
many years ago?
How beautiful she was back then, how her love did
show.
He remembered the cheerful laugh she had, he
hadn't heard in a while,
And the times when she felt down, how he could
make her smile.
The pictures were memories come to life, it seemed
he was back there again,
Holding her hand, then hugging her close, trying
hard not to grin.
His tear fell down on the page, and he wiped it
off with his sleeve,
Why wasn't he the one to go, instead of having to
grieve.
Then he recalled something she said, just before
she passed away,
Remember me with love in your heart, I'll see you
again some day.
The old man closed the book, he placed it back on
the shelf.
