Bridges

Bridges of iron
Bridges of gold
Little ol' bridge
How much more can you hold?

Mirror,
I thought I saw pretty
Mirror,
Mediocre
Mirror,
Liar

Mirror,
I see a bridge

Since 13 and crushing
To a boy who wants one thing:
Her best friend

Bridge, say yes
Bridge, say 'hi' to her
Bridge, tell her I love her
Years and years of this

Bridge, continue

Truck's tire tracks
Muddy footprints and rain
They ask,
"Bridge, are you okay?"
Wonderful.

She's a mess
An unsteady bridge creaking, used for hearts crossing
Coming and going
Stepping and stomping and running
Heavy

She's not pushed aside, no
If you see a bridge you can cross to get where you want to be
You walk over it.
You don't see the raging river below
You mock punch her on the arm and whisper-shout words to her so the girl you actually like will hear
Hug her a bit, tease her a bit, maybe the girl will get jealous

Bridge says, "Don't pull me into this."
Bridge wants to spit, "Fuck off."

Bridge won't really catch your eye
I guess
You only want to see the other side
Where you really want to be, what, who.
Her Resting Bitch Face -
That's not even spectacular

Bridge starting to think
She's just not for the teenage and twenties
She's more of a mid-life crisis
(Except for the one man she respects and respects her)
A girl, young woman, that "leaves an empty space when she's gone"
Said that divorcee
With seven girlfriends fighting for his cum
And yet sent her an unwelcome, unwanted dick pic
(So what, "Fuck it, she's legal"?)
She threw up, of course
Outside of porn, it's the first time she saw dick
Traumatizing!
Disappointing

"I wish I were younger."
"I wish you're older."
"If only I met you earlier."
"You're special."
"The one who'll get you is one lucky bastard."
"I wish I could marry you."

Well, fuck off!
You can't offer me a thing
Other than this fling
Where you fuck other girls
And I
Wait for the right man
(Who clearly isn't you)
Make you feel better

You can only see me because of her
Talk to me because of her
Touch me because of her
Fuck you!
Leave me the fuck alone.

I am not your fucking bridge
To get to her
To reach your happiness

I am not just a fucking bridge.
