The Bridge I look into the mirror. The mirror won’t look back. Don’t need to be a seer To see I won’t be back. The barcode on my soul, The timestamp on my dream. The bridge exacts the toll Of life's redacted theme. 'Cross it most every night. Face the portents of Woe. Pay no attention to plight, Nor let my unease show. Thought it mine to give away, The soul she dared to steal. The price I pay every day, For believing it real.

Son, you need a bottle, and a broad! Very well written, but so melancholy. |

Your replies brought me a much needed smile this morning, John. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. |

Michael...Liked this shorty from you...Paul The toll we pay every night Just to dream the dreams we dream Cross the bridge on the green light Less you hear the police siren scream I asked John if he wanted to join our phrase club we might have a new member... ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

"I look into the mirror. The mirror won’t look back. Don’t need to be a seer To see I won’t be back." I have been looking into the mirror lately for answers and your right it isn't giving anything away! |

Been here. I'm still not back. I was drowning in the seriousness of it until Gunslinger's comment.  "I know this love will tear me to pieces |
