Glass Bridge

Glass Bridge

The divide between stretching further than the eye can see
Thoughts of how we met and what we could become
This glass bridge before us and crossing the distance that keeps us apart
Now a shining beacon of hope to bring our hearts and desires together

A tentative step upon this shining path as we move towards each other
Each step draws us closer and closer as I can feel the pounding of my heart
The sounds like a guide to me as we draw closer and closer to this heaven
So lost inside what you have given me, that we did not stop to understand

The cracks forming in the glass of this bridge that seem to go unnoticed
The weight of our demons and the scars we carry inside pushing down
Lost in the moments we share even as the bridge between us grows weaker
And nothing we can do will stop the inevitable collapse that we did not see coming

The glass splinters before it shatters and we are forced to retreat the way we came
Gone is the strength we have learned and finding ourselves back at the start again
The bridge between now broken as it buckled under the weight of our collective fears
That shining glass structure that represented the path to what needed now gone
