SNAPSHOTS OF LOVE AND LOSS AND LONGING

It makes a
hot heart hurt
to think of you
and I wish
I could expose these
memories to light,
and just like exposed film,
destroyed in a dull flash
of white obscurity,
wiping out the images,
gone and forgotten
before the love
could develop
into this movie
that I just can't seem
to walk out of.........
