Captured
By: SheridanCraneFitzgerald@hotmail.com

Captured in a photograph,
Framed in wood,
She stares through weary eyes
From where she stood,
A river of tears running down
Inside her soul and out.
The black-and-white photograph
Captured her features, no doubt,
But, expressionless, she gazes on.
If her tears would ever show
They'd turn to ice within seconds--
If only you could know
How many times she wept
In the pounding, pouring rain,
Her heart withered and brittle;
If only she could love again.
Captured in a photograph,
She gazes on blindly,
Framed by rotting wood,
Her tears forever unseen.
