Burning Bridges

I built a bridge
My love reaching out to you

But you did not believe

That my love was true

You covered it with trash

So kindness could not flow
Your lies, your doubt

Wouldn't let you grow

Then you lit the fire

Fueled it with your rage

I couldn't watch

I had to disengage

You mistook my silence

Believed I didn't care

Blinded by your pain

You tripped in your own snare

And though my heart does ache

I have to step aside

For I am filled with anguish

My tears will not subside

I can see you hurting

But comfort I can't give
My bridge it lies in ashes

And you cannot forgive

So I will say a prayer

And watch you from afar

And hope someday you'll see

What bridges are really for
