Picture of You

Thereās something caught in my eye
Itās just this picture of youĀ
A casual, faded thing from yesterdayās Summer
This picture of you, laughing
Thereās something tight in my heart
Itās just the tug of a memory
Pulls at me like a child fearing the unknown World
I gather it up tenderly
Place it gently, here with my visions and dreams...
All the things that meanĀ
You
And slowly, slowly youāre turning to shadow
Falling softly into waters of forgetting
Sleeping where treasures are guarded byĀ
Mermaid emotions
And what matters becomes crystal clear
Like the waters and happiness and
You
And l wish, l wish...l wish...
Slowly your melodies are all becoming whispersĀ
It all fractures, disintegrates, falls away
But you feel, and you love, and you know
And its breaking my heartĀ
Because everyday I lose you just a little bit more
This cold growing inside me is frightening
I just want to hold your smile in my hands
For just a little while more...remembering
When all our yesterdays were rainbows
And your laugh was the sound of my joy
And tomorrow was a promise keptĀ
Let me comb your hair
Let me comb your hair now
Isnāt that better...
Itās so baby soft
Baby soft slips right through my fingers
No mama Iām not crying
Itās just that cold again, that allergy
Seems l have a lot of them lately
These red, teary eyes
I just want to hold you til it goes away
Can we make it all go away now...
Thereās something caught in my eye
Just this picture of you
Picture of you, laughing
