• Staring at this
    faded photograph of us
    Tears overflow onto my cheeks
    Memories rush forward
    and take me back
    to a time when we were so
    much in love.
    All the laughs we shared.
    All the smiles and silly faces.
    So much love we once shared
    torn apart because you
    were afraid of your emotions.
    You broke my heart
    and walked away from me.
    And now all that remains
    of the love we once shared
    is a battered and broken heart
    and a faded photograph.
