Bridge Burning Down

Bridge Burning Down

A Poem by Bo Lanier

Well you ain't been nothing but a thorn
in my side since you came into my life
I thought by now you'd take a hint
I don't really want you in my life but
still you insist on coming over to my
house every dang night...
Well I know my mama told me not to
burn your bridges and so I guess it's
my fault you keep hanging around, I 
thought maybe someday I'd grow to
love you but there's still no love here
anywhere to be found so I guess it's
time to burn this bridge and burn it to
the ground, burn it, burn it down…
Well 'cuz you're nothing but a nightmare
in my life that just won't go away, every
night, every day, I just clench my teeth
every time you touch me and oh God 
Heaven forbid you try having your way
with me, how many headaches can one
person have til you realize I'm not in love
with you and I just wish to hell you'd set
me free...
Well I know my mama told me not to
burn your bridges and so I guess it's
my fault you keep hanging around, I 
thought maybe someday I'd grow to
love you but there's still no love here
anywhere to be found so I guess it's
time to burn this bridge and burn it to
the ground, burn it, burn it down…
BRIDGE BURNING DOWN, BURNING
BURNING DOWN!
