Poetry: Snapshots

by L.L.Ortiz

Created on: April 21, 2008

A white walled room
Your breath on my skin
I hardly know you
I let you in

I know it's lost
The hope I feel
To never lose
Right now it's real

Those poison words
They stain your lips
I take them in
We feel it slip

It falls away
We let it pass
I'll never know how
I should have asked

A frozen frame
This pain I feel
The snapshot's proof
It once was real
