The Bridge

Another one pulled from the archives…

The Bridge

You are there

And I am here

A bridge between us

Made of wood

You strike a match

I watch it glow

As it slowly falls down

Igniting the bridge

You turn away

I run towards you

Fighting the flames

Desperate to put them out

You walk on

As I fall back

And watch all that was left

Of us burn to ash

You glance back

And I reach out

My blistered hand

Holding onto hope

You turn around

And then I see

The tears falling down

And it breaks my heart

For you are there

And I am here

And you left no way

For me to reach you
