The Between Bridge
I have no memories of crossing the bridge
Between my aspiration and apathy
Or how I ended up on the side that I did
And if my feet did falter or stray
Or my mind contemplate or refrain
But I wish I had at one point or the other
If there were white waves licking
Or spiteful calls from the birds overhead
Maybe I would have looked back once in a while
There were no slips or trips as I braved the wooden planks
That twisted and curled under my feet
But didn’t wake me up to tell me where I was headed
If only I wasn't turned into a sleep walker
Wakeful and asleep
That did most things unthinking
Now I’m here, how I fear
That I’ll be confined here forever
Watching the other side, as the bridge shakes between us
