Polaroid
Corners curling, faces turning pale Time erases what the heart can’t veil Every picture whispers names I’ve lost Every smile reminds me of the cost Shadows bleeding through the frame I can’t hold what fades away Polaroid, fading into white Memories swallowed by the night Every shadow slips from sight Yesterday is buried in the light Voices echo, but the sound decays Empty rooms where laughter used to stay Hands that held me turn to phantom lines All that’s left are ashes in my mind Shadows bleeding through the frame I can’t hold what fades away Polaroid, fading into white Memories swallowed by the night Every shadow slips from sight Yesterday is buried in the light Every page I try to save Turns to dust inside the grave Faces blur, the names decay Love I knew just fades away Polaroid, ghosts I can’t restore Memories burned, they’re mine no more....
