Burned Bridges Poem by Danny The Dreamer Boyd

It saddens me to think that what
We have shared was merely a kiss,
And that what love has yet brought
Was more of a woe than a bliss!

I've carried the weight for far too long:
Of bridges sinking in a sea of rust;
But I was wrong thinking we'd belong
Again, I guess dreams can turn to dust!

It kills me that I'm glad to let go,
And that sorry I just no more feel;
It's time for the wind of change to blow:
And sweep my soul and scars conceal.

Find me guilty for seeing the light
Amidst a dark world filled with lies,
For knowing everything's not alright,
And embracing not but mere demise!

I wouldn't lie and say that I
Us sometimes yet don't miss;
And the more I think of our goodbye,
The more I blame myself for this.

I should have held on some more,
I should have bit my tongue!
But the heavy weight my back outwore,
And at the end I was another hero unsung!

I came to terms with what I must do:
That's to get the hell out of the black;
I've carried the weight of your world for you,
And figured it'd just my shoulders crack.

Once upon a dismal dawn
I've decided to end my long dismay;
And so I've burned my bridges down:
In hope that it might light the way.
