Down there in the ashes
There's gold and silver too
Smug, you said
Take your spoils away
And you broke the bridge on your side
You wither my trouble
And all I dream to do
With half-smiles
Until I scream at you
Mad, you said
That's how you repay
But you broke the bridge on your side
And where am I
As I swallow your tears
And the prince with the slipper appears
Do you hack at your heel
Do I try not to feel
I fail with my anger
And with my sympathy
I tremble - so little left for me
Harsh, you said
Now you walk away
But I left the gold for you to find
When you broke the bridge on your side
