Burning Bridges

The black of night erupts
With colors of red, orange, and yellow.
The smoke wakes as Hell rises to Earth from the depths.
I bask in the heat, praying it to dry the tears
That soak my face like rain.
Done with living with the pain you left me;
Done with being the fool;
Done with having anything to do with you;
The water warms with every dancing flame.
The match blows in the wind.I hear crackling and snapping as pieces fall.
Bit by bit the bridge collapses;
Leaving nothing more to connect us.
Wind and rain rip at my body as I turn and walk away
From all that we had been.No more will you control all that was me.
No more can you have any of my future.
I'm done with you.
I'm done with us.
I feel the warmth begin to fade against my back as
Night returns to black.
It's done.
The bridge burnt to ash;
I am finally free...
