Burning Bridges

Now the fire burns in my heart My body it slowly rips apart Myself I have to lay the blame This torture is my work of art Bridges burning in the night A blaze with a burning light Lighting up the darkened world Such a sad and painful sight Forward now into the dark Stepping into a wild stark Retreat an option now removed So journey forward I must embark Unions are a distant memory Like fleeting butterflies they flee Re-run on my minds black screen Now with these actions I disagree. The road crunches under my feet As I walk on this lonely street Alliances lost to the mists of time Like an old puzzle I’m incomplete My mind was blank when fires set Any thoughts I had I now forget As I destroyed my links to past With fire, fists and angry threat
