A Photograph Gone Forever Poem by Dorsey Baker

Just a
wedding photograph
two people kissing
one another
after they were married
just looking at the photograph
makes him
sick to his stomach
he was at the wedding
and he forced
himself to point his camera
and take the shot
a moment captured in a flash
jealous blood runs through his
body salty tears
roll down his face
the photograph has
faded
but his memory remains clear
his best friend
married to the girl
he wanted for himself
he walks over to the fireplace
throw the photograph
into the flames
a photograph gone forever!
