This Photograph Freezes This moment In Time

 
despite all that has happened
both the beginning and the end  
it's no longer a question of fault  
both involved in a mutual assault  
I do not hate you, I never did  
it was a pretence, real feelings hid  
there was much anger, much rage  
sculpted and carved on every page  
so much fear and so much deception  
may have led you to a misconception  
I feel the need to put the record straight  
no matter what a fuss it will create  
the time has come, the time is now  
and folks will be bewildered how  
surely with the passage of time  
endless poems endless rhyme  
the endless depression  
my friendless obsession  
it's not a time for "Thing you know"  
I'll clear this up in the poetic flow  
I know I know, now get to the point  
I hope this is not a disappointment  
But I still love you  
since from the day I met you  
for me, nothing has changed  
and despite my will to shake it off  
and time the healer has been struck off  
I still love you  
there I've said it  
I love you  
there can be no other  
I would choose solitude  
and treasure the memories  
I still see photographs of you every day  
Listen attentively to voice recordings  
watching beauty in video  
You are the addiction  
a drug I don't want to stop  
But I know now, your love  
will never return  
but I will end my days alone  
wishing it would  
I understand  
I am sorry  
but  
  
I love you  
there I said it
