Faded Picture

The picture that remains of you

In all it's discolored splendor

Is hanging in my bedroom

Right above the dressor.

When I realized you had left

And was no longer mine

I felt the air escape my lungs

Life was asinine.

So, I find myself

Day to day

Staring in your eyes

Even though, I know in truth,

That it is just a lie.

To trick my mind

I do these things

So we will never part

But though I seem to fool my mind

I cannot fool my heart.
