Falling Down Bridge Poem by Eljay Ladia

She was never prepared for that blow
It was so sudden and yes, unexpected
It was harsh, so full its impact
I was hurt and wounded, blood-stained

Somebody was with you, from past
I wasn’t noticed because she acts
You had me in your heart, you said
But it seem untrue, so odd

We stand at opposite ends now
The bridge is torn by secrets
I walked straight, determined
You did too, justifying logic, determined

Intrigue, Doubts pass by
Mine hands shaky and tired
I maintained I LOV E YOU
You stood, shaky too

Should love shiver,
Will the bridge fell over?
I would no doubt fall along it.
Will you go down with me too?

Just a word and its fine.
The falling down bridge.
