Old Photos - Kendra Morris

Photos of feelings won’t capture true meanings, my son

Images fade fast and time is what won’t last, my son

You never know who will find all your albums gone missing

Polaroids capture the fly on the wall lovers kissing

Flash the light to freeze the sky each night above these heights

It’s how we knew what why old photos click and go

What’s then til now and how so it goes, click and go

Oh how bad could it hurt when there’s no more scars to show

Pictures of people that smile all the years they existed

Life in a film would that fades fast when names are unlisted

Blank faces look to a lens so their children won’t grow up

Forgotten boyfriends and girlfriends do suddenly show up

Flash the light to freeze the sky each night above these heights

It’s how we knew what why old photos click and go

What’s then til now and how so it goes, click and go

Oh how bad could it hurt when there’s no more scars to show

(Old photos will fade away

These photos will fade to grey

Pictures are laid to rest in a special place

Snapshots someday they will erase…)
