Past Burning Bridges

by Bet Yeldem

You said
You'd build a bridge for every problem we'd cross
You said
You hold my hand and carry me over rough waters

You said
You loved me more than you could ever express
You were wrong
You expressed your love just fine
In hurtful words
and hurtful hands
Your love broke my heart

I said
My inner strength is as fragile as glass
I said
I am trusting you with my secrets and my soul

I said
I loved you more than I could ever express
I had to leave
I expressed my love just fine
In saline tears
and silent lips
My love was used and betrayed

They say
Don't burn your bridges
They say
You may need them again someday

They say
that time heals all wounds (but scars run deep)
You try to make me see
Your suffering
Yet you are so blind
May I englighten you with flames

'Cause I'm past burning bridges now
Mind the smoke headed your way, my dear
I'm past burning bridges now
I want to set the whole damn world on fire
I'm past burning bridges now
There's not enough water in the sea to put this out
I'm past burning bridges now
