' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' Scene Seen Through See-Through Paper

Rating: ★2.7


Oh how you laugh
& talk

you voice
unaware

that you no longer
exist

not even this
photograph
in a photograph

album

only a memory
of a memory

your words so
vibrant

lost in time
see through and worn

tattered & torn

I the only
keeper of that time

you faded & forgotten

erased
by years

remembered only
by my tears.
