Love Poem: When the Pictures Stop

When the Pictures Stop

Each one holds a  bittersweet memory
Of a beautiful part of my past
Who'd of thought when those pictures all came down
That those framed in emotions would last

When the pictures stopped
My world fell apart
Each uncaptured emotion....runs cold
I guess I'll find out in time
If the fault was all mine
And those pictures
Are a part of my soul

I shutter to think all that we've missed
Are you picturing somebody new
I'm sure you'll fade in time
But for now your still mine
So cut me out
And I'll know that we're through

When the pictures stopped 
My world fell apart
Each uncaptured emotion...ran cold
Now I'm finding out with time
That the fault wasn't mine
But those pictures
Remain in my soul

The dust outlines the heartache
Where those love filled pictures once stood
Each memory a flash
Of times we can't get back

Yet those pictures
Remain in my soul

When the pictures stop.....
