For now, only ghosts can see

I salvaged the happiest photo today  
It lays crippled at best inside  
A promising vision    
If you’d like to see then…  
My skull only needs to be cracked open!  
   
How despicable it is    
To frame misery  
Encase these torturous moments  
Detain it to eyes of the living    
   
You don’t need a too take a picture  
It’s a lot easier to attend the upcoming funeral  
And take a good look at my dead body!  
   
For now and ever fantasy  
Only ghost can see  
Do you dare to walk through me?  
   
It’s to bad we can’t enjoy happiness together  
But broken pieces in its memory  
At different times  
Mine only in fantasy  
Yours in the becoming of reality

The happiest photo someone could ever take of me is my dead body.
