Left Behind

Take a picture of me and I will smile

tell a joke and I will laugh,

I can see you perfectly

but you can just see half,

I can tell you all my secrets 

but in the end you'll never know,

you'll never know the scars I hide

that I bottle deep below.

And though you'll never know me

my words I leave in time,

the still frames of my memory

the ones you left behind..

Author's Note

I was editing a picture of a very important person in my life and wrote this on the spot as I put it in the picture. She always tells me that she just keeps bottling it up cause nobody really understands, so I tried putting myself in her shoes while I wrote this. (Click on the poems thumbnail to see the pic)
