Slit My Wrists

you slit my wrists last night
  under the stars in the cold
Jagged words tore my flesh
  all in self defense
I won't pretend to know your mind
  what you hold inside
crimson drops from my finger tips
  puddles on the floor
Let me tell you what I want
  Before you slit my throat
By random chance and happen stance
  our lives crossed once again
looped around in war torn paths
  to where it all began
My only desire of you
  simple as it seems
Intertwine with me on the bar room floor
  where our chemistry is best
Dance with me throughout the night
  Forget about the rest
I only want the fleeting glance
 A rock and roll fantasy
This is what I need of you
  Nothing else
put down your sharpened pencil
  clever crafted words
With a double edge you broke my heart
  what else can I do?
Pools of red now cloud my mind
  one last breath perhaps
don't think too hard about what this is
  or what we are together
There is no more then what we were
  or what will ever be

For A Moment

To Rita, I know you're out there somewhere, existing without me, and it hurts. Never did I imagine it would come to this, having to exist without you. You were my best friend, so you said. But where are you now? I know you still think of me. I hope you think of me, like I still think of you. Love never ceases to exist, no matter how bad the hurt may be. I know I betrayed your trust. I lied to you. I guess once is all it takes to break the trust. I don't expect you to trust me again, but please believe me when I say, I love you and I always will. So goodbye for now, I hope someday I'll see you, even for a moment, you have no idea how happy that would make me. If you could only see me now, maybe, just maybe, you could listen and believe me when I say, I love you. I love you.  Ryan

Soul Is Undone

Dear Ryan, I've got so many things to say to you, I don't know where to start. I guess it's best to start from my heart. I forgive you, despite everything we've been through. I know we put each other through heaven and hell together. We were extreme lovers, the highest of high's and the lowest of low's. It seems our flames burned so hot that it was only a matter of time before we completely burned each other out. No regrets, the fire was worth the burning. After all, I think that's all I'll say. Except of course, that I'll love you forever, until my soul is undone in the life after this.  Jonah

Take A Breath

 Ryan,  The hardest thing you’ll ever have to do is believe in yourself again after everything’s fallen apart.⁠ When life shakes you like that, it’s easy to lose your faith. In yourself. In people. In the path you are on.⁠ It gets quiet, heavy and lonely. It can feel like no one really sees or understands what you’re going through. I need you to hear me on this.⁠ There’s still something in you that hasn’t quit. That light, it’s never gone out, it’s never left you. It’s always been there when you need it the most.⁠ ⁠You can call it hope, or strength, or stubbornness. I’ve called it resilience, and it’s gotten me through hell.⁠ You don’t have to figure everything out. Just get quiet enough to remember who you are. That will take you where you need to go. Who you are has helped you get through every single thing that’s ever come your way.⁠ You’ve made it this far, that counts, that matters.⁠ So take a breath. Then just find one reason to keep going and hold onto that. That’s will...
