Burnt Bridges

The bridges I burnt
I watched their ashes underfoot

For some the wood had long known decay
Others I lit with kerosene, to stop myself from crossing

The rarest were possibilities
Outdone by those built more beautifully

And I remember them all
The places they led now islands

I watch them sometimes
ponder what grew, without me on the other side

Then I move on to another location
Build a bridge once more

Now I stand at another, Over a precipice
And I wonder.. If I will burn it all

Will it hurt to fall or will I stand at the edge
Of a "what if" and yet another "could have been"

I feel the rot sinking in
And I just don't think it will hold my weight any longer
