An Old Photo
Every time you touched me
I could feel my body let out
A peaceful sigh
I found a home in your arms
Now, every time you touch me
I can feel my body go weak
With the ache of the pain
That threatens my heart
And remaining strength
My home is now lonely and rotting in your arms
You let go
And instantly I am lost
Back to my old habits of wandering
Looking for another pair of arms
I can call home
I used to come alive when
You touched me
Now, you touch me
And it is cold and familiar
My insides collapse
And I become a ghost
Dead and worthless
I pray
Emptily
But with a longing
So strong it could move water
I am stained
And bent
And stiff
I am broken
And beat-up
Nobody wants me
But I pray
Trying to remember
What I looked like
Before you ruined me
