Smiling faces stare at me night and day
Motionless, careless, and free of mistake
Faces from a different time and place
Free of guilt but full of grace
One by one
I take these photos down
Love, smiles, and never a frown
Like the walls left bare
Too in my soul it seems
The memories chase me in the day
Haunt in my dreams
Moving on is the hardest part
When the finish line resembles the start
I dare to move wanting to return
Only to notice my bridge has burned
I struck the match
I forgot it seems
Only to destroy both our dreams
One by one
I take these photos down
Wear my smile but upside down
Days turn to weeks
Months too they shall pass
Yet a single photo remains
Beautiful smile suspended in glass
