Picture This

Show me more photos,

More smile disguises

I’m glad that your happiness

Isn’t a virus

Don’t know if you’re trying

To hurt me

With guy

Just remember the one

That revealed you

The sky

And the skyline

Was mine and your

Future foretold

But I couldn’t just hold you

And never let go

So if this is the way

That you show me

It’s over

Then friends is just fine

I don’t mind the hangover

And trust me

Deserving of pain

Isn’t saying enough

But to it

Am no stranger

I’ve fallen in love

Just to watch it fall further

And slip through my fingers

As they found your features

And as you still lingers

In me

All around

My cold hole in the ground

Where no image of you

Could bring me further down

Only help me accept

You are better alive

I am better off dead

Or alone in the darkness

Of permanent dread
