Why do pictures of you have to smile?

Took a picture of you one day, when you were not the only one who smiled,
now all I got is this crummy pictures, and I am in denial,
Do I love you? Do I care? Why do pictures of you always have to smile?

Goodbye, forever, just stay where you are,
no sudden road trips, not without a doubt,
I told you I loved you,
any louder, I would have to shout.

Now I am alone in a room, with all your pictures,
I sent you one, But I did not smile,
so why do pictures of you, always have to smile?

First off, I loved the title its a great hook for the poem. Poetry is such a great way to work out the heart ache. You will find this out more and more in your life as you live. Its a blessing to have this outlet always return to it when you are hurting or when you are happy or when you don't understand something. For me personally, I feel its the higher self guiding us. I just read your profile such talent and you are not yet 20. I'm smiling like a big old cat now. Foster this talent don't age and forget about the writing. The more you live the more you will have to say and share. most sincerely Melissa Lundeen.........
