I grip the polaroid of my children
taken on a cloudy winter's day
their smiles like sunlight in the gloom
A captured moment in time
the season of togetherness already past
only an image left to sustain me
I press it to my chest
a vain attempt
to dull the ache
maybe their love
will soak through my skin
I don't know what I'd do without the memories from my photos, they bring back so much!
