reach for the worn photo.
Her body aches, as well as her soul.
She stares with her green eyes
of when they were young and beautiful.
He was so delectably handsome.
Lean, soo strong.
Her wedding was dress long. White and laced.
She was a stunning bride,
he smiled at her with pride,
when they were young and beautiful.
She remembers their happiness,
spending days making love.
His eyes watched her, breathtakingly blue,
“I swear, my love i’ll never leave you,” he promised,
when they were young and beautiful.
They thought they had forever,
he promised they did.
She believed the lie and her heart did die,
withering away with him,
when they were young and beautiful.
Now the years have come and gone.
She is all alone.
The dress is still long, white and laced.
She remembers, gripping the worn photo,
of when they were young and beautiful.

your intellect and way with choosing words has astounded me. I can picture what you say so clearly and beautifully, only because of the way you choose to place your words.
