The bridge of sorrows.
As the story goes.
Sometimes there's no tomorrow.
A young lady made plans to run away with the man she loved.
On the day they were to leave, he changed his mind.
She vowed she would make him pay tell the end of time.
The young girl not able to handle the pain that consumed her.
Jumped from the bridge, striking her troubled head on a bed of rocks.
She was found dead the very next day.
In the water under the bridge her broken body laid.
The girls spirit stayed at the bridge.
When couples come out for a leisurely stroll.
They can hear her mournful cries.
Still in pain after her tragic demise.
When single men stand looking down.
She drags them in under the murky depts.
Under the water she is pure skeleton bone.
She donned the appearance of a lady in dismay.
Her clever deadly disguise.
Tricking victims to come with her cries.
To their surprise, once they see what she is, it's far to late.
Her lover now gone for many years.
But his son has returned to visit his fathers grave.
He remembers his fathers story of the one he once loved.
The tears he shed from the death he caused.
How he to mourned what they both lost.
His choices cost a life to end that day.
He never returned to that bridge, never was able to say, I'm sorry for your pain.
Never said his goodbyes.
She wrongly died, thinking his love was a web of lies.
Yet his lost stayed a lifetime.
He paid for it with sorrow.
Her lover's son remembering how it all begun so long ago.
Wanted her to know, his father regretted his actions so.
He visited the bridge, and looked down over the edge.
Dropping a single red rose.
He softly begins to speak, he had come to say that his father forever regretted what happen that day.
Her memory haunted him, and forever stayed.
She breaks the water surface, donned in human disguise.
He leans out further, not fully believing what he is seeing with his eyes.
She cries, and reaches out a hand.
For you see, he looks exactly like his father.
The man she grew to despise.
She mistakes him, as her lost lover.
To late for him to discover, she wishes him harm.
She kisses him, and pulls him in.
The murky water engulfs the two.
Her need for revenge due.
He's trapped within the water.
His soul to forever stay.
His lifeless body, among the bones where her other victims lay.
Anguish from broken ties.
No goodbyes.
Love died with her anguished cries.
But her need for revenge stayed.
Even tho innocent, he was the one that paid.
For all the mistakes in the past made.
The bridge of sorrows.
Sometimes there's no tomorrow.
