The Golden Bridge
Two cities
Side by side
A flowing river
The only divide
To cross this river
This steady stream
They build a bridge
A golden gleam
It reflects the sun
It sparkles the river
Along with the moon
The small light sliver
They make it glow
So great and grand
Watch waters flow
Past shores of sand
This bridge is build
Yet gold is weak
A precious metal
We often seek
For it is shaped by hands
That don't need tools
Emotional molds
Our feelings in jewels
For we mold the gold
Into what we want
Our desires reflected
Our hearts, we flaunt
We wanted a bridge
To unite the cities
To travel across
To ship wine and cheese
To trade goods and Information
Experience and memory
Our hearts transportation
And our personality
But the golden bridge
Can't take the weight
Of all these goods
Across the straight
And slowly we see
That piece by piece
The bridge fades
And the trades cease
The bridge sinks down
For gold can not bear
The weight of our hearts
And the love that we share
Curse the emotion
That molded the gold
Time has tarnished the work
And our bridge becomes old
Its color fades
It's strength fails
And into the river
Downstream it sails
The trade falls in
The good cease to flow
The sun no longer
Makes the water glow
It all fades away
The cities grow distant
And everything is lost
The downfall is instant
We doomed ourselves
From the very start
We built a bridge
Made to fall apart
Our emotions that founded
A great experience together
Would cause us to separate
Now distant, forever
