A Thousand Words
All the smiles
all the laughs
All the good times you have together
Each one of them lasts
In my memory
Downloaded from a screen
and it hurts so much to see them
but you don't hear me scream
Out in anger
Silent, but still there
Senseless words rushing from my mouth
out of its evil lair
Because a picture is worth
a thosuand words
Those words tell the story
of how much it hurts
I'm forced to live a tragedy every single day
and unfortunately, it will never go away
It's not like you can enter the digital world
Trillions of pictures go out every day
but the weirdest part is,
even though I can't stand to look at these photos
I can't seem to look away
Clearly, there's a connection
Clearly, there's chemistry
I would be stupid
if I were to say I disagree
Because your pictures are
worth a thousand words
Those words, especially, tell the story
of how much it hurts
I'm forced to live a tragedy every single day
it's like I'm an actor in a play
except for me, unfortunately,
it will never go away
I told myself
to be happy
I reminded myself
you're my best friend
I forced myself
to fake a smile, even if it hurt,
because the only thing I've learned
From your happiness,
I've developed a fear
I never knew someone else's grin
could be my tear
These pictures have been burned into my brain
like a brand, like a stain
reminding me of the pain
Because your pictures are worth
a thousand words
And I think those words
might just be the death of me
