Your Picture

I held your picture today
Just couldn't put it away
It's been over a year
Just wished you were here

I want to see
Your smile again
To ease away
My barren pain

Memories like
A flash fire
Burns brighter
Than a funeral pyre

Reminiscing your
Gentle touch
I just want to
Hold you so much

But memories can
Never bring back
My deepest blue
Simply, you

A year ago
That faithful day
Can't really describe
What to say

You left with her
Up on a jet
A goodbye note
Just like that

I was dumbstruck
So confused
Part of me
Felt so used

I always thought
You'd return back
Stubbornly refused
To accept the fact

Days became weeks
Weeks into months
Soon it was a year
I could no longer tear

But somehow I did
I guess it was true
A part of me couldn't
Stop loving you

It's been over a year
Just wished you were here
Took out your picture today
Sat down to cry all day
