Down there in the ashes

There's gold and silver too

Dear sister, I try to share with you



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
