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
