Crossing Bridges As They Burn

My insides are burning,
My heart, how it screams.
The little things that you do,
Take their toll on me.

Wishing and dreaming of the day,
When your eyes finally open wide,
To see the scars you have left,
And the tears you made me cry.

So selfish of you to lie to me so,
To say you're in this forever.
And worst of all, I believed you,
When I should've known better.

Got to cut myself loose from everything,
Got to burn the bridges leading to you.
Got to rid my heart of some suffering,
Got to distance myself from all the things you do.

My insides don't burn quite so brightly,
My heart, a faint but persistent echo.
Only I can hear it yearning for you,
Just you and I, but no one else knows.

I'm getting back into my writing, slowly but surely. Hopefully this isn't too bad. =D
