Burning Bridges

Burning Bridges

Do not burn bridges they say
But what if I don't want it to stay
I've crossed this bridge to the other side
Just after being crushed by the rising tide

I look back at this bridge
There are holes and gaps
Like its been through a siege
And so many have fallen completing this lap

I watch as many stumble and fall
The mighty and tall
I watch them crawl in despair
And sadly I do not care

This assassin of a bridge creeks as if in pain
Decieving every gentle soul that graces it
Giving them hope before leaving them slain
Never does this bridge lack a soul to eat

I should burn this bridge.
I've made it all the way to the other side
There is no going back
No one else should use this bridge any longer

I think you have done an excellent work here. I say cross the bridge, block it and keep it in site. You can often learn more from your old known enemies than attempting to always learn of new ones.

yep i am full of it. But i like your work. well done.

I do like the logic of this poem.
"I should burn this bridge.
I've made it all the way to the other side
There is no going back
No one else should use this bridge any longer"
Good to burn the bridges that laid heavy upon us. Thank you Katy for sharing the excellent poetry.
