Last Film

 To the pictures you left us with

And the memories that collide

My brain plays like a reel movie

With the tape repeating it’s last film 

Over and over and over

Until I decide to rewind it

Watch it again from the beginning

No matter how many times I roll it up again

The movie ends

To which I never know the ending

How I never will know what truly happened to the beautiful woman on the screen

With her pink flushed cheeks and bandaids on her knees

All of the things we didn’t get to talk about, all the tattoos I didn’t get to see

And here it goes again,

I can’t stop replaying this scene

This will always be my favorite movie
