until they met again by chance
she hadn't realized
how she had preserved it
set aside a place so carefully
and kept it safe
the picture of she and he
inside her brain
and how it had preserved her
a smile
a clasp of hands
respectable
not overtly intimate
for two who had shared
those things most intimate
long ago
first, words to summarize lost years
then he produced the poison dagger
the picture of he and his family
to make an incision
so precise and subtle
to bleed her out completely
before she knew that she had been cut
as he spoke she stared
into the faces of his wife and children
a virus slowly wiping
out her hard drive
the new picture quietly
burning its imprint
rewriting over all her memories
killing her softly

Unfortunately this has become a scenario man come to know. You have written it in a different persepctive, a fresh take if you will. Nicely done with your word choice.

a good piece of poetry which flows smoothly along the course of creativity, it lingers on the edge of brilliance, shining brightly with poetic bliss. and captures the colours of life, and love. in the folds of heaven eyes shine brightly, wondrously as the sparkled spiralled caress of magnificence sails through the twists and turns of splendid atmosphere. there is a flow that dances along with a smooth rhythm and stylish rhyme.
