so i didn't cut you out of the pictures
didn't give you to that cold hollow in my chest
i'm sleeping in your memory the wake of denial
where you existed there remains
a shallow drift of empty waters
you're floating face down
when i frame the image
the past and the perfect
you'll be holding my beloved
be laughing with her on your shoulders
simple and rejoicing
she will curse me empty handed
starving for a memory that surpasses my pain
searching, she'll always be searching
devastated like me that you were only a picture
lonely on the wall and holding on
the nails through the wall, the display
of how you use it all to hang yourself
use it all to exalt, amplify
you are lacking her love
you are lacking my starvation
my simple handed deliverance
bowing to your picture
believing that offering myself
is a sacrafice for a better image
an exceptance of my place
the wall, displaying what everyone loves more
than the wall of nails, the glorification of what it couldn't be
couldn't amount to on its own
so i didn't cut you out of the pictures
because no one ever looked at me
where you smiled
i slid behind and slipped out
escaped the camera and its judgement
it's example of worth
i'm too skinny to photograph
the camera doesn't see me
and neither do you
i'm cutting me out of the pictures
saving myself for dignity
what awaits when i open my eyes
to the dawn of forever, is a wall
empty, silent, strong
endearing and full of nails
today i'll pull out that one that held you
and tomorrow i'll grab the spackle
make everyone believe that i'm ready
to eat again, to live again
but i'm starving for a memory
and i remember
a moment that surpasses my pain
when you looked into my eyes
and said "i love you"
when i listened and believed
