burned bridges

"... I am running away from something dreadful and cannot escape it. I am always with myself, and it is I who am my tormentor ... it is myself I am weary of and find intolerable and a torment. I want to fall asleep and forget myself and cannot, I cannot get away from myself."
-- Alexei Tolstoi


doors have been closed
bridges have been burned

there is no way back
there is nowhere else to turn

this is where the road ends
for us
if there ever was an us
