A great divide between us
A bridge broken and battered
A love stronger than lust
A hope cracked and shattered

We look across the gap wide and deep
A gap so wide we can't see each other
The other person across scared, waiting
But a feeling of belonging, translating

How did this gap even get here?
Who made it so we can't feel one another
So that we can't love and hold
Each other's lives we want to mold

A bridge we must cross together
A meeting in the middle, two souls
A fear of falling into the ether
A connection to fill in the holes

We begin our walk to the other side
The bridge swaying, creaking as we walk
People follow so we don't go alone
All of us looking for our own home

Then the bridge breaks and we all fall
Going down we scream and cry
As we fall we grasp at what we can
Hoping our lives are more than sand

A gasp of fear and pain
A hand in mine holding tight
A darkness my soul it will stain
A light made by love, creates flight
