Blurry Face

By Logan Lewis

-

I've got nothing here to hide, 
tear me open: look inside
you'll see where a beating heart'd once stand
in the soul of a broken man. 
Solomon's got nothin on me
you pulled me apart yet I breathe
a sigh of quick relief
knowing that you're gone and I'm free. 
I'm still strong. 


If only I had a Time Machine
Then you'd see just what I mean
That I'm no good for you I see
Then I'd just let it be
We were young and everything was fun
But now it seems we're done
Another year older: another trip around the sun 


I blurred your face out of our pictures yesterday
I'd be lying if I said it didn't have to be this way
I saw the story in your eye
Oh how time would fly
And now all I have to say is Goodbye 


Now these pictures feature a featureless face
In that Mesa, Arizona, coffee shop place
The other face just takes up blank space
Every time I view our picture, your blurry face I see


And it makes no sense at all to me
