Pictured days, pictured dreams,
pictured life, the way it seems!

Stories of what may have been,
in a life we missed way back when.

Shadows formed with artificial light,
giving illusions of honest sight,

that we might see just what we should,
in lieu of the truth we never would!

Captured moments that never were,
depicting scenes that make us sure,

that what we had was worth the time,
like a cadenced story, in forgotten rhyme.
