Memories that I look back on,
meant so much to my heart,
but now I wish them all away,
forgotten, torn apart.

Friends that used to hold my soul,
No longer know my name,
I wrap my emotions inside myself,
And hang my head in shame.

I let thier words seep inside,
Of these walls that I've built,
A mistake that I'll never forget,
Hiding all this misplaced guilt.

Memories that used to make me smile,
Now they bring disgust,
That I was nieve enough to feel,
Ignorant enough to trust.

Looking into their eyes I see,
That everything has changed,
To many bridges have been burned,
To travel back agian.

To the times of simplicity,
That I kept inside my mind,
And cherished until this day,
Will all be left behind.

My dear sister, I think you and I should get a big ummm.... .BAT- and go cleaning!!!! No- but seriously I think you know how much better you are than those little girls...they're not even worth your time. Their problem is that you're so beautiful, and the'll never be able to compete with your mind or your spirit...Much Sisterly Love!!!!!!!

Open arms can be the most fragile in the world...

Sometimes bridges can be rebuilt, and other times they're better off left burnt.

thank you all for your comments. And Keeper, there is so much going on its hard to think about, and sometimes i know from my own mother, your childrens words can run very deep. Sometimes i have to take the time to make sure that my heart is really where im looking from and not just my imagination.

Some bridges are best left burnt, but don't ever stop having a trusting heart! Not every one out there is a jerk! Great poem!
