final photo

he held her hand and stole her heart 
wished her well when he had to go 
his heart aching 
hers was breaking 
they'd gone as far as they could 

the sky was blue, the day was black
rosy tinted when they look back 
the final photo when the camera clicked 
captured an affair 
both deep and intense 

fading smiles, vacant eyes 
a black and white
held in their minds 
framing a shot 
of love that's blind 

he held her hand and stole her heart 
wished her well when he had to go 
his heart aching 
hers was breaking 
they'd gone as far as they could

Emily Dickinson once wrote, "The higher the flame has leaped, the colder and deader the ashes. Very nice writing!
