Burning The Bridge

I stand on this other end
Dejected – I need not pretend
Does the water tend to weep……..?
A heart that lost its feeling
And words that lost their meaning
A promise – none could keep

This only way that leads to you
I light with fire, without a sound
I drink those tears – I walk away
WHILE THE BRIDGE IS BURNING DOWN

All your thoughts fill up my mind
But not one look I’ll cast behind
I’ll crush these moments’ weak…..
And what was it I asked of you
Nothing more than was my due
But no more will I seek

Rewarded for my gift of love
I get to wear this thorny crown
The smoke has darkened all my dreams
WHILE THE BRIDGE IS BURNING DOWN

The distance now will only grow
What lies beneath no one will know
But will you get your sleep…….?
Those moments that brought us to life
When every part felt so alive
Will they freeze in memories deep?

With shivering hands I bury them
Some obscure corner of the town
I touch my heart – it has turned to stone
WHILE THE BRIDGE IS BURNING DOWN

For all important things you’re free
You’ll never need to answer me
Go – conquer every peak…………
When all you get – you’ll know the cost
That in the bargain what you lost
The heart will solace seek

May be some day you’ll want to meet
You’ll search that bridge – you’ll look around
But we’re parted now for life, my love
YOU DID NOT SEE AND THE BRIDGE BURNED DOWN
