The Bridge To Nowhere

Some people leave the porch lights on. Me, I build roads and bridges and put up flashing billboard signs. Anything, everything it takes to lead you back home.

- Alexandrea Roman


I burnt all my bridges in hope that someone would be there waiting for me on the other side, that you would be there with open arms. But you weren't and now I'm left stranded with no one and nothing except my dignity.

Thank you.

- Kyra Jacques

I am coming. I am pushing towards you. And even though you may never know me, the movement keeps me from drowning.

I've told you everything I dream about my future and the person I could be.

Except for how you don't fit into the picture.

Luisa Bier - Because of you I felt what was like to have my heart broken. Broken into pieces so small that I may never be able to walk again. And still I want you to be the one to reconstruct me. I want you, only you, no one but you… even knowing you’re leaving me now. And there’s nothing I can do but silently cry as you go away.


Nick DiDonna - i love you and all, but sometimes you make me want to jump off of bridges instead of ride over them.


Alyssa Fayman Jensen - Please don't burn your bridges. They're the only way I can reach you now.


Therese Ire Bongo - You try and try to rebuild the bridge, but all I will ever do is try harder and harder to rebuild my walls.


Karrigan Monk He wanted to take something of you with him. He's going on a journey that might be dangerous and he didn't want to put you in harm's way.


Kyra Jacques - I burnt all my bridges in hope that someone would be there waiting for me on the other side, that you would be there with open arms. But you weren't and now I'm left stranded with no one and nothing except my dignity.

Thank you.


Alexandrea Roman - Some people leave the porch lights on. Me, I build roads and bridges and put up flashing billboard signs. Anything, everything it takes to lead you back home.


Koh Sze Lin - Im driving down to see you but I see your car going in the direction Im coming from,
then I called to ask where you were you told me ,
"I miss you, Im on the way to your house"


Alexandrea Roman - Isn't it sad that the very bridge you built to reach others is the same bridge you now use to run away from them?


Scøtt Shea - everytime I see you, I flinch.

Scøtt Shea - I really want to lay down and look up at the sky; Day or night. Just for a while, in a quiet bliss


Alexandrea Roman - The longest bridge in the world is the inch that separates my fingers from yours when I am sitting next to you.


Alexandrea Roman - Your hand in mine should have been enough to assure me that you are here. But my eyes on yours reveal that you are actually somewhere else.


Sacha Brooks - The Bridge To Nowhere

This is the halfway point, the moment suspended in time where everything is nothing. This is it. What are you waiting for? Take my hand, pull me to the other side. Make up my mind.

@Karen Brand "I'm not beautiful like you. I'm beautiful like me."

@Scøtt Shea The bad thing about training is that it's tiring, painful and no fun. But so is losing.

@Scøtt Shea Where were you my whole life? Why did I have to wait so long to find you? I feel like I've known you forever.

@OtherGeorgeDub We've started crossing this bridge a thousand times, but we always end up back at the beginning.

@alviealvie It seems that you're moving away, further everyday. But we both know your heart will remain as still as the scenery from the bridge.

@maddieness Mine is a distraction. Yours is a masterpiece. The trees stand watching, mute witnesses through frosted glass. You are my moment.

@katedesmarais Because heads and hearts aren't meant to connect.

@ardentLESS it won't always feel this way, I promise. edges dull, somedays come. sun can't shine forever... please remember as if it does.

@ardentLESS the pace only quickens, never slows. you aren't meant to catch up, nor supposed to know.

@white_russian The longest bridge in the world is the inch that separates my fingers from yours when I am sitting next to you.

@alissasorenson I am coming. I am pushing towards you. And even though you may never know me, the movement keeps me from drowning.

It's a clearer picture now.

The bridge is moving, and the background stays unchanged.

We are going nowhere.


sa among baybayon sa bohol said...

I am coming home. 
But where is home? 
Home is within.
Me.


_anna said...

i'm still here standing, waiting... unmoved. waiting for the day you'll go back to this place where you shattered my heart, and maybe, just maybe, everything once again will be alright.


Cass said...

I'm doing anything, all I can do, to keep moving on. Though at the end of the day, I'm still here, waiting for you.


Anonymous said...

You're moving too fast for me to follow.
Slow down.
Do it for me.


Midge said...

If you lie down after me, others will follow. We can link arms and hold each other up. We can get anywhere, and then, by the force of our combined will, take anything. But first, you and I have to lie down together alone, and hope the others come. Otherwise, we might fall into the gap.


Anonymous said...

Wherever I go, I look for you. You are never there. I know you never will be. I still look anyway.


yasmine said...

it's not the destination, but the journey.

open your eyes. the view is great.


Anonymous said...

It's all relative.

The more you move forward, the more I retreat into our past. Even if all I do is stand still.

I hope you see the world for me.


Anonymous said...

You and I are more than just dots on a map. We are more than just a series of coincidences. We may meet, pass and never say a word again but your heart will always be my home.

J said...

Memories are an obligation, they came with our heart and mind in a single package. But to reminisce or not is a decision we ought to make.


Jonathan said...

Just because I only saw you once, doesn't mean I haven't stopped thinking about you.


J said...

I don't need fire to burn you. My words will do.


thirte3n said...

The best thing for me,
is to stay here with you,
but that's the worst I could do to you.

The best thing for you,
is for me to cross that brigde and disappear,
but that's the worst thing I can do to myself.

But it's the best I can do for us both.
Take good care of yourself.


A. said...

showmewhatyoucan_hurtmeifyouwantto said...

I want you to know that when I walk away I wont be coming back. I wont be glancing over my shoulder or wondering if you're watching me retreat. I wont be turning around because I just dont see that as a possibility. 

But I want you to know that I wont be forgetting. That's not a possibility either.


sa among baybayon sa bohol said...

Things will be better for us. Do not be scared, little one.


keaira said...

you are going places. 
bring my heart with you.

*~PinkTangerine~* said...

Not knowing where to go, you got in your car and drove until the sun came up. Past rivers and bridges with out a thought until you stopped, looked around and saw that no one there knew you, no one there would hold your hand. Then you turned around.


Grace Yeoh said...

I wish I understood why you keep me locked up from the world. I wish I understood that when I broke the chains, your heart broke too. I wish I understood that I should have stayed when you told me to go. Mostly, I wish I understood that freedom is seldom free.


Credenza said...

I looked forward while you kept retreating. 

Maybe that's why we both ended up somewhere in the middle. Two people caught up in the collision of life.


kanilyn said...

Streets are streets, no matter the length (or quality, or where they may lead). Strangers are strangers, no matter their race (or status or smiles).

And maybe what you want to escape can't be outrun, maybe what you're looking for can't be found in any corner of the world. It doesn't matter where you go if you have no one to go there with.


theaspenskyline said...

After seeing you on the other side of the screen, 
I realized I liked you better as a stranger.


Anonymous said...

It took me until the end of this bridge to realize that the only person who could ever catch me, is you.


greeneyedlady said...

You said you'd take a piece of me with your wherever you went. That is why I feel so incomplete every time you leave.


chapter & verse said...

This is the way the world looked to us. Before the sun turned cold and gray. Before the oceans started taking over the cities. Before love was a synonym for hurt. Before you lost your last butterfly. Before the monsters jumped out from under your feet. Before your diamond dreams turned into coals.
We are more alike than you think. Turn the radio off so we can talk about love.


nicola said...

I’m wondering if I can breathe under water while trapped in this car. I'm thinking I can only if your lips are pressed against mine. I'm sorry if this is a horrible excuse to get you to kiss me, but either way it will save my life. Practice makes perfect, but one kiss should do the trick.

ace of hearts said...

he tells you he wanted you to realize you have a life without him but what he's really trying to show you is he has a life without you.


Nikk said...

You forgot to look back.


:) said...

A piece of me is missing your last goodbye, your last hug...
your last touch.

I recall, as a child, holding my face against the window in the backseat of the old car.
The window was cold, as was the day...
as was you.


Sydney Stern said...

There are clouds underneath your feet dear
and wind on your fingertips
but as long as you never look straight down
the fall is never nearly as hard.


clare. said...

It took me until now to realize that the drive home has always been from your house. The same darkness, the same stars overhead and headlights in the night, and the same song reminding me,
You are there
and I am here,
because this is what I wanted.

The morning feels no better.


Anonymous said...

You are the sun, and you are the shadow. How do I escape from that?


Anonymous said...

I could call you when I arrive. But I know I won't.


Anonymous said...

I want to go back to the days when I thought you were everything I ever wanted.

But we can't, because you burned that bridge down a long time ago.


Blacksmithwife said...

I'm sorry for crying too much in this journey with you. But now it ends, and I think I should've smile more. But if I have, I might still be with you now, continuing this journey...

The Private View

I remember your fear of heights as if it were my own. I trace the patterns like stitches on the lids of your eyes; you closed them so tight.
It's just a feeling.
Then it's gone.
