Bridge Down

Words seem to fail me for some reason...

So I will just have to show you...

Show you what you mean to me.

People can be so fragile

Like whispy leaves they are blown

Here or there...

But dont worry little one!

I will follow you here and there.

I'll hide in the shadow of a tree

And stalk your every move.

With time you'll blow right into my hands

And when you do...

I'll be so glad!

I'll whisper in your ear

By this time I will have known

Your friends, your family, your home

I'll make you watch them disapear

But it's okay... I'll wipe your tears

And when you find your all alone

I'll crush your brittle form

And as you squirm I'll make you pray

I'll make you beg me - death

Me being kind... I'll lay you down

Your weary head will find it's rest

Why did you have to steal?

Why did you have to burn?

You forced my hand...

For I am a teacher of humility!

To think... we could have been friends

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
