Snapshots Torturing My Heart

There's a camera in my heart
That is stingy and wont part
With pictures of memories
Happy times of you and me
Daily smiles of romance
Never needing to enhance
The "focus" or make it brighter
Nights we'd take each other higher
With new flights of ecstasy
Another photo instantly
Added to my hearts collection
Colors of joyful sensation
I can look at when I'm down
Because you are not around
To keep this album of love growing
Not suspecting you'd be showing
Me pictures in real life
Of a cheating lying wife
The "lenses" inside my eyes
Can not "click" sway the ties
That are "fading out" this picture
Of a life of loneliness without her

robin, it seems like you are taking the masculine point of view in this one? I really like this one. Those snapshots of life. May they never fade away (completely)
