Camera flash

Crazy how you die away
like a tragic memory
In the eyes of the sober heart
its all a shame

that dreams are drowned in bottles
that smiles fall to rain
and second are eternal
so you just numb the pain

with pictures
with beer
and with ecstasy
with skin, with tears
and everything
seems to be so cloudy
fades to white and black
moments sense to bind you
blind you
camera flash

remember parties where we used to dance
remember lies and loves and how we said we'd laugh
someday
and now we're sitting lonely and sipping on some ash
deaf to all but echoes and remnants of a crash

with pictures
with beer
and with ecstasy
with skin, with tears
and everything
seems to be so cloudy
fades to white and black
moments sense to bind you
blind you
camera flash

    I like this! I love how you fragmented "someday" from the rest of the stanza, and the change in line lengths. The repetition was very effective! Thanks for entering, love the poem!
