you...

Why would you burn down all of the sturdiest bridges
that have held fast through tornados and thunder?
Why would you sacrifice those bridges
for the untrustworthy hazard
of a rope swing?

You're begging the forces of nature
to send you tumbling, down down
towards the rocky cliffs and unforgiving waters
in a bewildered panic.
and when you...if you, claw your way to the surface
this bridge will stand strong, forgiving, and trustworthy
to the end

Your flames do not work on me.
