Burned

Bridges burned, Emotions burned, Heart has been burned, Everything around me has been burned, Burned to the ground, Burned to the floor, Burned to beyond the ashes, Burned to the depth of the ocean, Heartache and pain, Tears and sorrow, Beauty destroyed, Everything is burned, Burned to no recognition, The heartache reads on your face, The unspoken hardship reads like a novel, The emotions you try to hide, From everyone else is plain, Plain to my heart, As I have seen it myself, The bridges that have been burned, The emotions that were burned to the floor, The heart that was hurting, The ground that you wanted to shallow you up, The floor that seemed like nothing, And there was no true place to hide, The ashes that were left of your yesterday, The sorrow that reached the depth of the ocean, Burned to the ground, These things that we go through life, Those hardships and pains that we all live through, Every moment that is f
