bridge

Listen to poem:

In shadows deep where our weary hearts were cast,
Hatred blooms, for the garden’s trust is past. 
Stubborn weeds now choke what love had sown,
Their roots entwined, shroud what once was grown. 

Words once so tender shatter into fragments.
Bridge collapses; strength too frail, laments.
Apologies fall silent, they're lost in the air,
Echoes dissolve and fall into a hollow stare. 

We clutch at shards of once-mirrored memories,
Deceiving eyes with lame, fractured histories.
The warmth we knew lies hidden away out of sight.
In shallow graves that mock the hope of daylight. 

A circuitry of broken wiry veins remains,
Forgotten paths grow wild into tangled chains. 
New bridges rise yet they're shattered torn,
Their severed, frayed wires, make healing forlorn. 

We wander through this labyrinths of pain,
The ghostly whispers, lost, echo and remain. 
Warn us that healing comes in slowly with the tide,
That certain wounds we'll never turn or hide. 

Words of sorrow fall like bridges into the abyss.
No balm is enough for what collapsed, went amiss.
The past laying fallow, without consent or grace,
Still haunts us with the mask of love’s face.
