Digital Camera

by Malachi   Mar 11, 2013


In this digital screen
Is a picture of your face
You look so pretty and happy
Forever and always

I click the arrow over
And the camera shows a slide
It's you and me together
But also that other guy

He always made me angry
I never liked him around
I screamed and fought with you
Which only brought us down

The photo changes again
But this time only us
We're holding hands together
In the park out by the bus

I remember that night clearly
And the picture changed once more
It was like it was yesterday
That I found you on the floor

I screamed out your name
And tried to find my phone
But my hands were shaking badly
And I felt completely alone

The picture on the screen
Was of your grave
There were flowers and were people
And the memories in my brain

How could I not see
That you were never truly smiling
And that all along it was
Your hurt that you were piling

Maybe it was that guy
Or maybe it was me
Or maybe it was your job;
Perhaps your family

I glare into the screen
As a recording comes up
For the way I feel right now
Surely is enough

Your camera shows just me
And for I don't have a clue
that as I look away
you whisper I love you
