Burning the Bridge

why would you bruise me what possessed you to use me how did I betray you When did I mistreat you How did I betray your trust What caused you to fade away from me? I worked so hard to be there And in the end you don't want me to be all of a sudden we're not cool anymore whatever was left of our friendship is falling apart i'm confused because there's no reason that I know of to break this heart Tell me what I did to you To make you believe That i'm out to get you And the only way to stay safe is to leave? I trusted you, I thought you trusted me What did I do to make you give up on us All we worked through to be friends is so easily run over by this bus Apparently it just doesn't matter to you So just walk away Go ahead and burn this bridge And once again enemies we'll stay. 10-15-07

amazing. I can truly relate to this. Sometimes, things just happen like this, but gladly, others can replace the pain left behind with something much more wonderful and joyus. Love comes. Nice work. love, Jese

this was actually intended toward a friend of mine during a spat. The bruising was more metaphorical than factual.

If there was even the hint of a bruise, walking away may be the nicest thing he's ever done for you. Good Write. God Bless. Vince
