Fallen Photographs*
Today I woke up to the same smile
Everyday I see your face
Your not here
But your pictures are
They smile back at me
So my memories of you are never too far
As time traveled on
Your pictures were still where they belonged
Hanging on my walls
Until one day slowly they started to fall
My first reaction was to of course hang them back up as they fell down
But then I realized that you’re not coming back around
So I took the fallen photographs of you and I off my walls one by one
Until eventually there were none
After a while I got used to not seeing your face
But certain things and people like you
Still, are not just replaced
It’s those fallen photographs that will never let me forget
If you could only see my face
And listen to the sincerity in my voice
It hurt to watch the pictures of us fall
It hurt me to have to take them off my walls
Sometimes I still long to hear your call
At the end of the day its not you here
Its not you near
Only traces of your fallen photographs
And memories of our fun times smiles and laughs
There was one last picture hanging on my fridge
But soon it slipped off to
The last fallen photograph of you and I
Was replaced with a picture of the ocean
And the sky.
So I will place the pictures in photo albums and boxes next
There they will lay right next to all the rest
But one day I will look back
Upon those fallen photographs
And smile
They’ll always stand out from the other pictures in the pile.
