Ink and Tears

Perfect Picture

I drew a picture 

of a family

I drew smiles on their faces

and arms that wrapped 

around each other 

Drew eyes that shined bright

and you could tell,

they loved each other. 

Standing at the edge 

in the corner of the picture,

was a girl

There was no smile

on her lips 

And her arms stayed 

by her side

There was not a trace of love,

nor light 

in her eyes

She was part of the family,

but she ruined my picture 

So I scribbled her out

and then I ripped her

And now I had,

my perfect picture
