I built a bridge
Across the starless void of the night
Over the clouds that muted
Hoping for a cover, a comfort
A seizing moment of relief
I built a bridge
I built it with hope
It stood fast with pain
It teetered high above despair
Thin, fragile, like cobwebs
Able to break in the slightest of a breeze
I built a bridge
I built it to you
With the arches as loneliness
I laid them together with the love that you gave
I built a bridge
And I crossed it many times
Fickle and troubled,
I often ran away
I built a bridge
Bereaved, I burnt it down
Left in this isolation
I find the bridge that you built-
Standing.
A beckoning cry
That I never see the sands of this island again.
