LGBTQ+ Poem: Nostalgia, by Adam Freeman

This picture speaks a thousand words and none of them are kind
As your heart is in the right place but it never cared for mine
And just within the framing is a hymn that can’t be heard
But if you listen to the meaning, you can understand its words

It makes you want to relive all the past years of your life
To remember what remembering what nostalgia then felt like
But gentle foggy patterns start to blanket what you know
And nothing damn worth saving is revived amongst the snow

The simple way of loving pictured clear inside your head
Where couples speak in poetry but nothing will be said
Imaging we’re older and our greatest hurts will heal
Aching only as reminder to remember they were real

When Judging life set on a stage, it makes you feel so small
As if will watching in theatrics serves to make it real at all
But if following a passion Settles something in between
Then possibly its meaning lies unhidden and unseen
