Question: Sad Poem -- what do you think!?
Sad Poem
by Tori
(Victoria Tarrani (c) 0807!.14)

The road is long
and oh so lonely
when I travel it alone!.
There was to be
the two of us;
bound by love and trust!.
Trust freely given but
easily broken creates
a chasm that's hard to cross!.
There may be a bridge
that will cross the abyss
but it takes two to build it!.
It is so sad that I no longer
want a bridge to you;
you took too much away!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
This is beautiful, bringing back connotations of the Irish ballad, "The Water is Wide!." Only that one ended on a happy note!.

However, I tend to familiarize more with poems of a more sorrowful timbre, and this one echoes across the chasms made from bridges burned, in past lives, present lives, future lives!. The last three lines are beautiful in their isolation, the personal understanding of isolation, the living with it, and the knowledge that once the bridge is broken, what was taken can never be restored!.

Thank you, Tori, and blessed be,

Eva

sappy - as in dripping from a tree, thick!. Slang: melodramatic, overly emotive, generally used to deride love poetry or bad romantic movies!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A beauty, a winner

I see more of an angry poem than a sad poem!. I identify with someone who has hurt you and broken your trust long ago!. You've burned those bridges!.

Now he wants you back and you say, Too much!. I see a strength of resolve to go forward and not try to fix what has been broken!.

Very well put, like a path to your soul!. It's sad in the way that you lay yourself out publicly!. The poem makes me feel sad in the way that I cannot help the writer!. I would advise her not to cross her burned bridges!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I wouldn't call this sappy, but it is melancholy and unfortunately true for many relationships!. You've captured the emotion well with you use of imagery within this poem!. When trust disappears it does create a chasm that is nearly impossible to cross!. Good write!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Very nicely said!.

Sadly, many relationships do fail!. I've had one!. Many of us have!.

When they started we thought they would go on forever!. But forever had an end it wasn't supposed to have!.

You've expressed it very well, as well as the sadness that goes with a relationship that has failed!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sad to say as for a personal feeling, but good that you know when the bridge is not there any more, some people do not learn from the past and keep making or crossing the same bridge!. Good one, keep em coming!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
