THE PICTURES

The pictures I took

the dank dark

devious pictures

that you never knew about

or pretended to ignore

the pictures I have of you

from that dirty night

where we made

things

I swore to never speak of

the pictures that kept you

with me

even when you were too far

to speak

to touch

to breathe

the same air

the pictures

that kept us two

together

when we were not

these pictures

are all I have left of you

and I will keep them

quietly

forever

even if only

in my head.
