Picture Catches Dust

I am still right here

and your still right there

In the back of my mind 

Instead of in front me

A picture stands on the shelf

The best one of yourself

There it will remain

regardless of my plea

In my flesh and bone

Waiting by the phone

hearing nothing but the dial tone

What lies beyond the last breath

is a great unknown.
