Burnt Bridges

Used to be my ace, now a stain on my soul,

Played the puppet master, tryin’ to take control,

Fed me poison words, sip 'em out the chalice,

Built a castle of trust, you torched it to ashes.

Burnt bridges glow red in the night,

Your shadow still haunts, but I’m ready to fight,

Cut the ties tight, can’t bind me no more,

Ex-best friend, now you’re a closed door.

Knives in my back, I mistook 'em for a hug,

Words like daggers, my heart in the rug,

Gaslit flames, lit the match with a grin,

Now I’m breaking your cycle, won’t play victim again.

Burnt bridges glow red in the night,

Your shadow still haunts, but I’m ready to fight,

Cut the ties tight, can’t bind me no more,

Ex-best friend, now you’re a closed door.

Name’s erased from my history page,

Toxins in your veins, body full of rage,

You were trash in a velvet disguise,

Now I look in the mirror, finally realize.

No apologies sent, and none will I take,

Wounds so deep, yet they’re keeping me awake,

Inhale my vengeance, exhale your smoke,

I’m the fury unleashed, yeah, I finally broke.
