Of Photos That Make a Comeback

Have you ever seen a photograph that was deleted?
What went through your mind?
Have you ever seen that deleted photo,
Being brought back to life?
Line by line one pixel at a time
It returns.
They say that some memories make us forget
Some memories make us happy
And, then there are some memories
Those do nothing, but cause harm,
Now
Can you see the picture forming?
Is it a place?
Is it a photo from high school?
Or is it a photo of the person you used to be?
The smile that left your face
Has come back to you
And so has the laugh
Which you hadn’t heard for a
Very
Long
Time
In time, the rest of that photo
Will be restored
You’ll become the person you really are
And permanently delete
The person you are now
The sad, trapped version
Who is afraid, and has lost his way
To him I say,

“Hold on, coz everybody hurts sometime”

Everybody Hurts is a song by the band R.E.M

The Bilge Master
