Burned Bridges
Simple dreams turned to twisted schemes
Lies spread and wild fires rage
Memories of you written out on my page
As a cold wind blows and the time fades
I see your shadow in the shade
The darkness all around you
Slithering beside your feet
I missed when you were here
When I was warmed by your heat
Now we're past the point of no return
And you will always yearn
For the one who got away
And you'll live with that mistake
As you watch your life burn
Your heart turned cold
And your eyes grew vacant
And what little feeling I had for you too
Vanished within a night
I hope one day you regain your sight
And realize what you've done
By then it'll be too late
And damn it already was
The fact that you had the nerve to think
It would ever be the same
And you're the only one to blame
The untold truths, my love for you
Had all just been to you... a game
You lied through your teeth
You hid behind a mask
And even though I'd fell apart
I was rebuilt and given more than I'd asked
So I wish you the best
Even though you tried to hurt me
And while you suffer with the choice you made
I finally feel free

🤍🌹A poem for anyone who has ever experienced being played with by someone you cared for or loved, just to find out they never truly did. Truly one of the worst things to do to a person. And I'm incredibly sorry if anyone else has ever experienced this or relates to it. Just know you deserve better and you lost nothing, I promise that, they lost you. It's perfectly okay to burn bridges with anyone who's hurting you on purpose. It's needed sometimes for your own good.
Thank you so much for reading. I appreciate all of you so, so much. Wishing everyone the very best🌹🤍
