Empty Frames
A picture frame sits on an empty shelf
Holding a picture,
a moment,
in its wooden arms.
A time when the glass reflected
the love felt inside.
The moment remained, never to change,
but the world could not.
As the time passed
the smiling faces faded away,
memories lost in the dust-filled rays
of the sun.
Covered in cobwebs and ghostly tears,
the empty frames sits by itself,
yearning to be filled again.
