The Features of A Broken Soul
Location
As light approaches the lenses
And the camera frames my face
The flash alerts my eyes
My features begin to erase
I stare at nothing
But the fallacies of a picture
A beautiful girl with a smile
But a heart colder than winter
I stare at nothing
But adjusted lights and altered frames
That would allow one to believe
That I walk without shame
What the lenses refuse to display
Is a foolish girl with a million regrets
Whose pride won't let her apologize for the pain that she begets
I stare at nothing
Because an pretty image can not hide
The pain that I bear when I think about how I lied
When I disregarded your love
And replaced it for the next
A pretty image can not hide
My soul full of regrets
You loved me with no filter
Without a tilt or a crop
You loved me for who I was
Without any Photoshop
And now in your eyes
I'm simply perfected pixels
They say a picture can tell a thousand words
But this one simply reads, "I miss you"
