For A Short While

    

Looking at the photograph
an era gone with a smile
a couple of years would pass
from this print of gone time
then all would slide to crash
I still bleed from denial
pictures burn the same as cash
they light up a short while .


If you spend what you've never had
yeah it might feel good
but it tends to blend good to bad
when you try to buy your blood .


The corners begin to wither away
to ashes from flames
it's just another gone by day
in a life you remade
with many a  penny
in a new bought world
you claim to be sane
even if you could buy the earth
it'll still rotate
reminding you of the past and its worth
and what you'll never have again .
