What the camera saw

They often  tell lies, but sometimes the camera catches a moment of truth. This isn't a classic poem but it catches a poignant moment.

The Photograph.

 

You, longing for another

who wasn’t there. 

She was leaning against me

but I didn't care. 

That sunny day

I was looking at you, 

confident my feelings

were not on view. 

But now I see

as the camera saw, 

that moment’s disappointment,

a lifetime cannot thaw.
