London


burnt bridges led my way

they led the way to you

i could see their fire in your eyes

you came from another path

of ashes and pain

we came together

fell together

not ready and not sure

we came from separate seas

half-drowned and one flew over

 

burnt bridges will lead my way,

far away from you,

and i will be reborn

 

in this soil.
