Those Pictures She Posted

You really were so beautiful

those pictures she posted crushed the breath from my chest

and I should have known better than to log on today

but I was doing okay

until

those pictures she posted left me exhausted

I could have fallen to the floor right there at my desk

by the end of the day

from holding it in

but I was doing okay

until

those pictures she posted

pushed me right back with a punch to grief

I should have blocked them from view

but I couldn’t do it

those pictures she posted

is all there is of you
