When Hope Fades.....
When Hope Fades.....
Why you look so sad?
boy I have loved for a while
why does your feet dangle
so carefree off the pier?
but as I study your face
it's so blank,
boy who has no smile....
and if hope was measured
by what you see through a camera
my still shots would be so black
no color would ever come through
that is what always happens
when I take pictures of you
From the fog of what is inside
the boy is trying to keep oh so quiet
like if he doesn't speak
it doesn't exist
and the feelings of belonging
he won't miss
but it will eat at you
for a long time.....
who really knows the time gap
who knows where you will be
when you snap....
and if hope was measured
by what you see through a camera
my still shots would be so black
no color would ever come through
that is what always happens
when I take pictures of you
