bridge of sorrow
by ~auraginxthere is said to be a bridge;
a beautiful arched bridge
surrounded by an aura so dark
that anyone who would cross
would have their saddest thoughts
surface all at once.
each step would stir them,
each breath would feed them.
at the end lay an archway;
it was here that it was rumored
that these thoughts are cleansed,
and true happiness will be found.
however, it is mostly unheard of;
as most people are driven mad
and turn back too soon-
while others would be brought
to jump from it's side.
beneath is a rocky river;
a river that holds the lives
and sorrows of the weak.
however, beyond the bridge
live the strong minded,
who never look back.
