Picture In A Yearbook Poem by Marilyn White

Your eyes where focused on
Something at the time
That the picture was taken
What was that thing?
That you had on your mind
How long has it been there?
Could I have done anything?
To help that hunger
I think you thought that
No one would notice that
Your eyes where drifted
To something else I took
One look at it I knew
That you where gone in
Far away place where
You probably thought
You where once safe
Like a place in your childhood
I think that is where you where
Hiding there deep in thought
