Picture
September 10, 2012
A picture's worth a thousand words,
And a thousand scars.
A picture can burn and rip you apart,
Slowly, like burning cigars.
A picture can haunt you for days on end,
There in the back of your mind.
A picture can hurt you like never before,
Pain that will make you blind.
A picture holds a certain truth
That no one wants to see.
A picture will knife you in the back,
Sharp stabs of misery.
A picture reveals who we are
Natural and unmasked
A picture captures verity
Without being asked
A picture will hide nothing
The secrets, they will spill
There you stand, unveiled
A picture, it can kill.
