Closer To The Truth

You can't keep pictures,
to keep your friends closer,
thinking of them,
they'll never know.

Pictures,
don't mean they are near,
only works in death,
even then,
not so well.

Pictures,
Longing and fondness,
no replacement,
for closer.

Pictures,
emotional responses,
in isolation,
they hear nothing.

Pictures,
are a reminder,
to take time,
to get closer.
