Picture Perfect Pain

I’m looking at your picture on my wall
While your voice whispers into my head
And your touch courses through my veins
Our memories pierce my brain
Flashes of light before my eyes
When will this ever end?

I see the smiles that we shared
The few moments we used to care about
Now it seems so far away and I feel out of reach
I quit trying to bite the hand that feeds
Lock away a secret and chase away my dreams
From the truth, the lies and the in between.

Your unabashed memory, my constant surrender
Time plays a game with the things we remember
Distance remains unforgiving until your smile fades
Leaving me here trying to turn the page
Chaotic is the mind that fights to turns away
From the picture that shows glory lost along the way
