In a Picture

Her eyes were hollow

His hands were around her waist

It's only a picture, not a life

A different girl, maybe

One that high points are thinking

Disadvantages of decision

Slurred words

Words that are screaming inside

Somebody help me

Somebody just stop me

This car's going too fast

Paniac grips as the fumbling of seat belts

Are greeted with empty touch

Nothing seems to feel anymore.



Sinking into blackness, falling into arms

Forehead to the sky

A fallen angel is now dirty

A different girl maybe

There's no success or justification in a a simple action



It seems so real in a picture

but so unfamliar to

Not sure about the wider frame

That affects the picture



How he took her back with him

to four choking walls

and hurt her

inside and out



All night she thought of how this book

was all too real

and contained too much bullshit

The picture that accompained the text was unrecognisable

A girl from a different planet



In a picture, in those eyes

Are welling tears yet cried.



It's just a picture,

yet its a life

think about the wider image.
