I found your photo


BOX

I found your photo
In a box
It didn't move
It didn't talk
And every day
I looked in vain
And every day
It stayed the same
It didn't answer me
Or change
The lines across
Your face remained
Exactly where
They'd been before
I hung your picture
On a door
I lay my memories
On the floor
I put your picture
On the wall
You didn't write
You didn't call
My stomach burned
My hope grew small
I couldn't hear
Your voice at all
And in my dreams
The letters came
And when I woke
I heard your name
But the picture
Stayed the same
