…+in my life this time
i did not
burn my bridges,
it was the hurricane,
with lightning and thunder,
winds and darkness
...+that tore my world asunder...
when walls of floodwaters came
+and washed it all away…
took my +dream under
...one last time...
left me here
smoldering in the ashes of my sorrows
that's all that i have left
of the fond memories
and passions +warm +embrace
here i stand+alone, lost forever
from my loving+living spirit+community
it left me with only
unfinished visions of continuity
living with the pain
of hopeful +dreams
haunted by the thought that maybe
if i took the chance
then i would not
have to carry this burden
...this pain and suffering...
but that bridge was washed away,
a road uncrossed all because
i did not take the time
and i ruined my +only opportunity
to send+off my friends
back
...into + eternity
... +i lost the only chance
i had...
+to say one
...last+goodbye...
