Your photo is framed on my wall
It being there makes no sense at all
We were never lovers, family or friends
Still, each day I try to make amends
When I was young I finished first place
Not one reaction of pride displayed on your face
Instead you responded with only your demise
Told by the look in your lifeless eyes
No matter how great or good my actions were
They were never enough for you to concur
Years later I realized my focus was all wrong
My attention had been on myself all along
Since that day I breathed only for you
Dedication I was certain you knew
But today I lay resting on my final day
And still you have nothing to say…
