A bridge can be burnt in an instant, <br />Though it can take years to build. <br />A solid base, support, protection, <br />Yet so easy to be killed. <br /> <br />Goodbye is a hard word to believe, <br />But believe in it you must. <br />Some bridges must be burnt to the ground, <br />It's best to leave in the dust. <br /> <br />When you feel the flames are climbing up, <br />You must promise not to stay. <br />If not the bridge will rise around you, <br />And you'll never get away. <br /> <br />It can take years to build such a bridge, <br />A bridge you love in turn, <br />So slow to build, yet so fast to fall. <br />So why's it hardest to burn?<br /><br />Katherine Brake<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/some-bridges-are-built-to-be-burnt/
