Broken Bridge Poem by AHO Speaks

The bridge has been broken since that tragic day
Didn't say good-bye but in the end she had her say.
Fifteen arches of metal and stone
Nothing left but empty space and I'm all alone.

I miss her so much since she went away
Every night at the broken arch; I kneel and pray.
Fifteen arches of metal and stone
The day she left and never came back home.

She packed her bags to go to the city
Oh, my young love, so fair and pretty.
I pleaded and I begged but she refused to listen
My heart was sad and my eyes did glisten.

Upon my knees I hugged her dress to wipe my tears
The bridge has been broken for forty five years.
Fifteen arches of metal and stone
You took my baby and left me all alone.

The bridge, my memorial, the picture of my grave
An eternal reminder of my lost love; I should have saved.
Fifteen arches of metal and stone
You took my baby and left me alone.
