    if you're gonna let me down
    let me down gently
    don't pretend
    that you don't want me
    our love
    ain't water
    under the bridge

    Dear Angel:
    These men. They come hard. Fast
    as grains of sand in a windstorm.
    Not been myself lately. Been jumping rivers,
    collecting knives. Collecting sedatives. Been fishing with my tongue
    in the throats of men. Find dead things stashed between their teeth.
    I opened my shirt. My chest. Opened doors and cabinets, windows.
    Opened skin, opened thighs. I’ve said it honest as I know how:
    This is me. This is all. Isn’t much. I am heart and breath and skin and bleed.
    Sometimes tornado, sometimes lullaby. They take, Angel. They take.
    They say too much. Words made from lead.
    Marriage. Children. Today. Love. Ready. Yes.
    Angel, why do they leave?
    Been ignored so hard my skin turned to wood.
    My tongue is salt. They got me, Angel. Forgotten jewelry in a drawer.
    Ornaments in boxes. Old trophy in a basement.
    Just lay in those sheets, woman.
    Just lay quiet. I’ll get to you after you repent. Once you hate yourself good enough.
    (Funny how it doesn’t hurt when you’re the one doing the leaving.)
    Even the men we love, Angel. They get busy. Get girls. Get drunk.
    Get distraction. Get bus. Get plane. Get paid. Get loose. Get gig. Get
    handball. Get tired. Get lost. Get MFA. Get laugh. Get gone.
    Angel, when I doused the rafters in kerosene and went in
    with the blowtorch, after the corpses were dragged out and buried
    proper,
    I thought staying right meant staying honest.
    Just be truth and you can’t get hurt, right?
    Said a girl made of splinters isn’t built for love.
    But they tried, anyway, Angel. They tried. And turns out, I can.
    I can love hard as shrapnel. So hard I melt skin.
    There was a night in the sheets – the sheets that once were his –
    another man’s heat and me, a dogpile of convulsion, lurch and moan.
    I sobbed because he was gone, and that man held me, Angel.
    Held me like a father holds rage, arms tight across as lifejacket.
    Shuddered like that ’til daybreak. He whispered, I want this wreckage.
    Now, his mouth is full. Gold strands of hair. Got condoms. Got limos.
    Got whiskey and football and steak to fry.
    He walked me in the rain. Said my skin was perfect as daisy petals.
    Talked me off that bridge. Made me laugh, Angel.
    Laugh—even when the city and my face were set on fire.
    I lay in my sheets. It’s always the sheets. The soak and stain of old linen.
    Lay myself flat, spread myself thin. Flatten hips and breasts, roll outward
    like a layer of seeping cream. Get thin and thin and thin.
    Reach for the edges of the mattress, pray to be thin as paper,
    thin as invisible. Thin as never. Angel, it’s so empty here. Always empty.
    Always fighting some man in the street. Always fighting.
    No one wants the wreckage, Angel. No one strong enough.
    I’m afraid of the river, Angel. Afraid it’s going to start calling again.
    Afraid I’ll wake up tomorrow and my front door will open right out
    onto the entrance of that bridge. I’m afraid of the fish, Angel.
    How their tails will pull me under. I’m afraid of the boats, their propellers,
    their life vests. I’m afraid of the corpses, all the girls never found.
    Afraid of the men, Angel. How they tug at the meat.
    How sharp their teeth.

    So I was watching a video on YouTube of an Alter Bridge cover and as I was reading through the comments, one person put "I love this song! Alter Bridge is my FAVORITE band EVER! Miles Kennedy is my idol!"Well I think it's not your FAVORITE band EVER if you can't even spell his name right! Sorry, MYLES!

    Sometimes people will always throw
    stones in your path.
    it depends on what you make
    with them.
    Wall or Bridge?
    Remember you are the architect of your life.

    Falling In Love Is Like Jumping Off A
    Building.
    Your Brain Says,
    Don’t Do It! You Will Die!
    But Your Heart Says,
    Don’t Worry, I Can Fly !

    When i was 8 years old i feared heights.
    I was scared that i would fall.
    When i was 8 years old i worried about monsters.
    I was scared they were underneath my bed.
    When i was 8 years old i hated blood.
    I was scared i needed to go to hospital.
    When i was 8 years old i depsised my parents.
    I was scared they would take away my toys.
    When i was 8 years old i fell off a bridge.
    By accident.
    When i was 14 years old i feared life.
    I was scared that i would fall.
    When i was 14 years old i worried about monsters.
    I was scared they were in my head.
    When i was 14 years old i hated hospitals.
    I was scared they would send me away.
    When i was 14 years old i despised my parents.
    I was scared of what they put me through.
    when i was 14 years old i fell off a bridge.
    On purpose.

    If you don't understand mental illness, good. Good for you. You shouldn't have to. If you don't understand why some people can't get out of bed in the morning, good. I hope you jump out of bed ever single day; ready to take the world by storm. If you don't understand how someone could drag a blade across their skin, good. I hope you're never that desperate to feel something. If you don't understand what would drive a girl to keep starving herself despite everything she's lost in the process, good. Stay heavy & present & real. If you don't understand why he won't just go to church or rehab or find someone who can help him, good. I hope you always have somewhere to turn. If you don't understand how someone can keep swallowing bottles of pills, tying knots in ropes, or standing at the top of a bridge, good. I hope you never feel that desperate for relief. If you don't understand, good. You're not supposed to. It's all f.ucking sick. Thank God for ignorance, it's healthy.

    There are bridges
    you cross you didn't know you crossed
    until you've crossed.

    We were always part of different worlds
    doing something together
    for once in a long time
    was our bridge
    But now since the bridge is b r o k e n
    with no hope of repair.
    Its like were in separate
    universes.

    Whenever I see a bridge
    I have the sudden urge to write on it.
    Some day.
    Not for ghrafitti or anything,
    but just to write a message.
    One day.
    Something for someone who might need it.
    A little note for that one person,
    just that one life
    who might need it.
    In the future,
    I will.
    I will scribble a little note;
    a little message;
    just one sentence.
    "Don't do it."
    Someday, one day soon,
    I wil do it.

    I got this feeling on a summer day when you were gone,
    I crashed my car into a bridge,
    »»» I watched, i let it burn «««

    And I've been feeling
    everything
    from hate to love
    from love to lúst
    from lúst to truth,
    I guess that's how I know you.
    So I hold you close
    to help you give it up
