Still Frame

I am a void,

A blank canvas

On which your eyes

Paint my future

I hold a picture

Of you in my hand

Smiling back,

do you understand?

I am whole

And yet incomplete

Without your love

To make us two

An image in frame

I hold in my hand-

Smiling at me,

can you understand?

I do not want

For my journey to be

Over without you,

Without each other

That image of you

That I hold in my hand

Gazing into my eyes,

do I understand?

Time has changed

And we passed by,

Our relationship over

Not to be again

I hold that image

Still in my mind

But it does move

Past that time

I am a void

A canvas on which

Love has written

Patterns of old
