Look at the world through a polaroid lens
Frame it in the only way you know how
Capture the light before it leaves
Carry the burden
Of beauty
To love too close to the sun
You have to watch it all burn
Sear it onto the page
Freeze it in the frame
How long could we survive
What we were doing to each other
How many second chances
Did either of us really deserve
You can make the impossible choice
Pay the impossible cost
And still be left with the truth
After everything you lost
That saving someone doesn’t mean they stay
So years down the road
When the thought of
Her
Surfaces
Pull out the picture
Hold it up to the light
And remember
There is beauty in the darkest places
