Broken Bridges
Broken Bridges
Why don't we stop
and mend those bridges?
It's been too long
we are all on the road
of forgiveness
I can see you on the other side
take those first steps
I will take mine
don't let your heart
be stopped by pride
I can see the water
rushing below
one slip and the flood
will take you away
so be careful
I hear eggshells are fragile
broken so easily...watch where you step
coming together sometimes isn't easy
but the effort
lets me know you care
What can I do?
to bring you back to me
I am reaching out
to a point of begging
life is way too short
for such cold weather
so embrace me once more
I promise to be better
maybe I won't hold you
so accountable
no one is perfect after all
let these broken bridges fall
take me back.....
like we never left
one foot forward steadily
finally holding your hand
finally exhaling with no regrets....
