Photograph

There's a mirror on the wall

Hanging close to your sight

Witnessing the empires fall

Beyond the dying day & night

Gaze into its soul to find

Pieces missing from the art

Carrying moments that bind

Strings attached to the heart

Magic recreating the past

Framed in black and white

Leaving you alone at last

None by your side to fight

Tears you shed won't stop

Thinking about the last laugh

You had with the ones you loved

Looking at their photograph
