Burnt Bridges

I look back at the bridges
Burning with the fires
As hot as the passion that built them
And the answer is suddenly clear

Those little footbridges, built
On puppy love and mutual friendship
Are merely charred and will still support
A cautious return with well placed foot

The suspension bridges built
With fragile trust and fiery heat
Were consumed with the same fire
As the atomic heat that built them

Although the sirens call of lost passion
Stirs my loins and beckons to me
With sweet promises, there can be
No going back for the bridges have collapsed
