Burning Bridges Poem by David Harris
Burning Bridges
Our old love letters,
I burnt them one by one.
I didn’t want them in years to come,
to haunt me with memories of you.
Our car in which we used to travel,
around to see our friends,
I sold so I could get something new,
that didn’t hold the perfume of you.
The house would have to go,
too many memories,
of you lingering there,
and they are too hard to bear.
Just another bridge I’m burning,
to escape the entrapment of the past,
another way of removing to,
any traces of the love I had for you.
I’ve said goodbye to our friends,
before they start asking of you.
I’m moving to a far away place,
and burning bridges of all traces of you
I’m hoping it will be enough,
to keep your memories at bay,
Until the day I find another guide,
who will lovingly at my side stay.
Hello David, I have lived your poem and love the sentiment but the following poem is always a reminder that life truly does goes on.... 'One heart break is enough to teach They say with thin smiles bitter, And I agree that love can hurt, But ah! I am not a quitter. And so I give my heart again, Not heeding their advice, Fore those who haven't loved Can't know, it's more than worth the price! ' (A poem I read somewhere as a child 12 or 13 years of age and never forgot) . Thought I'd share it with you...I don't remember the author... If you find time read my new 'Don't Cry'
I feel for you on this one David, it hurts...but you can and have moved on so much , by the sounds of it, good for you ALL THE BEST FOR THE FUTURE Love duncan X
You are often in my thoughts David, even though I might be away from here. Thanks for sharing your inner thoughts, all my love, Lisa Will be back soon
I think it's more like cleaning out the attic of old dirty things we don't want or need anymore: O) .....start clean and fresh to fill up again at a later date: O)

You have captured so in this poem what a person goes through when losing someone even though you have a wonderful marriage but you have seen enough in your life time to express so well in this poem what a person needs to do to move on and look on to the future. Wonderful poem David. Big 10 from me. XOXO Pam
