Empty Photographs

Walking around my room
Staring at our old photos
covered in a blanket of dust
Remembering the times when i was happy
and full of life

I see us,
just a mere month ago
Basking in the sunlight,
with smiles so wide

The clear lake glistens behind us,
no regrets ever made
Then i remember

I'm not there anymore

Why did you leave me all alone?
Memories of you,
hugging me tightly
In a single embrace
It meant everything to me
Was it meaningless to you?

How could you do that to me,
you told me that you loved me
but it was all a lie,
or was it?

I take a deep breath
and let go
Of the memories that haunted me
Of the anguish that built up inside
Of the life that was still left in me

My heart stops
Seconds
Minutes
Hours
Passing slowly

All I hear is silence
