fading pictures

by Antwan Fields - Aries

i sit alone in my room
rain falling outside
studying the photo album with my head down
fighting tears and pretend boredom,i flip through the pages
pictures galore, mom with dad
dre and i pretending to be bad
me with my friends, all alone on that hill
now we are different, such a bitter pill
flip another page, dre and i going to school
eight years would follow of me playing the fool
of me wanting to be with dre, like dre
i think that was just the way
he liked to see me
and we are so different now
away from each other, and how!
i turn the page, i catch my breath
me and my father, the look on his face of death
i fear my father, what he will do
when i tell him what i have told you
from age they fade, the pictures we took
all i am is what, i close the book
inside me i feel the approach of fear
i think and out of my eye comes a tear
im weeping with sadness, the pictures are torn
but a calmness fills me, and i am reborn
the rain stops, i turn and leave
another saturday night i will now concede.
