First Line: There is a bridge of sorrow

Subject(s): Grief; Sorrow; Sadness
There is a bridge of sorrow
I cannot walk with you.
It is so narrow
I must release your hand
And let you go alone.
I cannot go with you
Though I would
And reap a satisfaction
From your need of me.
I can but stand
With heavy, twisted heart
And wait tomorrow
When you shall come back to me
With simple sorrow
That maybe love can heal.
