The Picture Frame

The Picture Frame

A Poem by Whiskurz

I borrowed your old picture 
I just couldn't help myself
I picked you up and dusted you off
From high upon my shelf
I told you how much I miss you
I know you had to leave
While talking to your photograph
A memory finds my sleeve
Your eyes still hold me hostage
The way they used to do
And I still see a little of me
Each time I look at you
We couldn't have known forever
Would only mean ten years
Another memory finds my sleeve
Then slowly disappears
I never got to say goodbye
Before you went away
My heart's become the picture frame
Where you will always stay

An amazing piece of art! Really amazing choice of words and rhythm. I really loved the third stanza, that one really captured me. Great job! :)

I love the rhythmic flow you create for each poem, it's really fitting to each one and captivates the reader. Are you already published? If not, you should be.

this is beautiful. you create a perfect scene for the reader to picture in their minds. each stanza has a strong purpose in the poem and each helps to make the reader more emotionally involved with the piece. you take such strong emotion and simplify into an easy to connect way. "my heart's become the picture frame" great line.

Poem represents really nice picture of the decency and quietness of love, that just stays inside the heart and never leaves.

My heart's become the picture frame
Where you will always stay
