A Lost Love Poem

Photos taken by a phantom hand

Broken memories on demand

Ruins of the life that I had planned

Hopes held fast by self-reprimand

Flashbacks to better times in a distant land

Fading footprints on black sand

Taking all my self-command

To not mark those shots with a blazing brand

Those distant memories captured by you firsthand

To not erase those views so grand

Where I again shall never stand

For fear of memories that will outstand

The moments captured by your phantom hand

-0-

For Ru.

Hang in there, buddy. <3
