I took a picture of you,
not so long ago,
a picture of happier times,
when we still were hopeful.

I took a picture of you,
when you were happy and smiling.
trees and birds lived together in a beautiful harmony.
Blue skies lighted your face - and my heart.

I took a picture of you,
but today you have replaced it
with your new life of black background
the trees are now tables,
and the birds are locked deep inside my heart
