Broken

A framed print upon your wall..
A still shot of the two of us..
Sitting close together, on a bench,
Near the falls..
And to the casual observer..
I'm sure we must have seemed the perfect pair
But if you look a little closer..
If you took the time to ponder..
The naked eye..
You'd see a picture of me without you..
A broken picture in a broken frame..
And if you look a little closer..
You'd see just a broken frame.
