Broken Bridges

Trust is easy to break, but hard to rebuild

Broken bridges make you reconsider the waters underneath, the vast sky above you, the clouds in your mind and the leftover pegs still trying to hold you back.

Burnt bridges against the sunset sky remind you of fires that can go haywire, of wildfires that vandalize hearts that deserve better, of a phoenix unable to rise from ashes of remnants that have not burned down well.
