a thousand photos

static
a noise of nothing
and everything unsaid
a hundred letters written
a promise kept
and a thousand photos
never never to be taken
haunted by eyes
that promised me everything
but saw only nothing
a hundred letters
of hollow broken words
smile for the camera now
my beautiful model of perfection
a smile worth less than our words
a hundred letters for you
and a thousand photos
never taken, not by me
i could only take you
but it meant nothing, silly me.
