Your picture sits on my shelf framed in gold,
But your image lies in ruin in my heart,
The statue that once existed in your name,
Like my heart, is unrecognizable,
Fractured into a million pieces,
Impossible to ever reconstruct.
The person you were to me,
You will never again be.
That image in the picture is of you,
But of the memories I hold dear,
Of the person you used to be,
Not the one you are today,
Or plan to be tomorrow.
That’s a person I don’t know
And would never frame in gold,
Let alone have dear to me to hold.

I agree with Woundedangel you have a way with words..Writers block comes and goes..Dont feel lonely I cant seem to write at the moment either..But I liked this It is something we all can relate to..

I feel as if I've read this poem before ... Didn't I comment?
Sometimes that which we framed in gold, may become less important, but still the symbols of that love remain. That does not mean we have to do away with all - for that moment in time it had been valuable and precious enough to be "filed" into the memory, and honored as such.
Your poem was written with sad finality. Neatly done.
Kindest Regards,
