The pictures that I longed to see

Have finally come to me

But they are so hard to see

They just tear the heart from me

-

My heart was gone before they came

But still it did not stop the pain

Although my heart remains with you

Somehow the pain still came through

-

I wish to God my heart would stop

Then my life would finally drop

The love that only has one end

But sadly love remembers when

-

The love we had was more than good

New, exciting, understood

Now the candle burns so low

The flame has nowhere to go

-

I shelter now that little light

And will not let it from my sight

It is the only way to see

The pictures now in front of me
