I cross a bridge br in hope of solace br but as my ineluctable destiny br designs adversity, br a question lingers. br br I seek to resist br the appalling change br but the pain is inevitable. br So in the midst of my flight br a question lingers. br br I hum a bemused tune, br mystified by time. br And as the ruins of my br previous self pass me by, br a question lingers. br br I see a ray of hope br cause it wasn’t long back br that I knew solitude. br Not yet vanquished, br unrequited, that question lingers.
