Lies Under the Bridge

 

I told you a lie

but I’m done.

 

Unmoving, you’re there.

Bound in shackles I wove.

 

Here you are, battle scared.

I look back, afraid.

 

Standing, you’re there.

Torn in forgiveness, I cried.

 

I drove you down

but I’m done.

 

I couldn’t have hurt you, I say.

Someone else, not me.

 

The one, who broke the tie.

It couldn’t have been me.

 

Stilled in silence, we’re here.

Meet me in the middle.

 

I knew you for then

but I’m done.

 

Chained to the beginning, you stand.

You look back, unchanged.

 

Break them.

Those binds of then.

 

Run for me.

Feel for me.

 

See you in the middle, there.

I meet you in the middle, here.

 

I cried for you then

but I’m done.

 

Trust me, the battle is over.

Here we are, looking there.

 

Walk with me, I plead.

We start and all is done.

 

Feel the chains come loose.

Watch the sun rise.

 

I broke you

but I’m done.

 

Pick up the pieces with me.

Our shattered souls.

 

Sewn with redemption, we are.

Moved with each other, changed.

 

Meet me in the middle here, my friend.

From here, we leave, chains behind us.

 

We lost each other

but we’re done.

I don't critique many words these day, but this one was from the heart. I did like it and it flowed smoothly. You did well here. Keep up the great work!

Hi Chocolate Addict,

You have a gift for sure. I hope you continue to listen to your heart and maintain the level of independence and passion you show now, even at such a young age. You evoke emotion in your writing which is very difficult for many others to convey. I like the simpicity of the style but the deep meaning behind it. Great job! Can't wait to read more!

This is a great write! I like the form, the sentiment, and the emotion. Well done.
