Love Was Just A Blur

Your face was visible yesterday
After many months apart
The photo lay, shaking in my hand
And very close to heart

I'm ashamed I haven't recalled
We were so close together
Your smile made me break down
Your kiss whispered 'forever'...

How is it that I forgot you?
Could it be my soul moved on?
All the memories you've stolen
All the stars I wished upon...

I stared back at your picture
And wondered if you were well
Your smile illuminated day light,
It was fake, this I could tell

This photo captured simple essence
Pretending happiness we were
Exteriors were picture perfect
But the love was just a blur

I ripped up our picture
Tears flooded my eyes enough
So silly, thinking I've moved on,
I thought pain would make me tough

And as I walked to my balcony
A rush of cold air filled my heart
This was the feeling you always gave me
This is why I'm torn apart

Reluctantly, my palm held out
Towards the emptiness around
Each ripped up portion flew away
Until the pieces hit the ground

So familiar was this scenery,
Broken pieces beating the floor
Cold air filling up my heart and soul,
And salted tears falling galore

My insides churned, as I gasped
Life, like you wanted to go
I've never learned to laugh and smile
Getting over you is slow

They say what doesn't kill you
Is making you more strong
I've never heard something so phony
No one ever been more wrong

Our photo captured simple essence
Pretending happiness we were
Exteriors were picture perfect
But love was always, just a blur
