Dark Thoughts

"I need your help with something." She said. He could tell by her tone that they were about to go into something quite serious.

They had just made love, sweet young, tender and passionate love. They lay nude, vulnerable and satisfied.

"What is it..?" He asked.

"When I'm with you, I'm fine, I'm happy. But when I'm not I go into this dark place. When I'm alone I get incredibly depressed. Being with you grounds me. I feel safe with you, like nothing in the world could go wrong. I know that sounds crazy..." She confessed to him.

"I understand how you feel, I'm happy you can talk to me, I'm glad you feel safe with me." He dearly loved this girl.

"I've had dark thoughts about ending my life sometimes. I've tried it several times, but never quite finished the job. If I ever needed help with that, could you help me?" She surrendered her deepest, darkest thoughts to him.

He needed to be ever so careful with his next words.

"Are you kidding me, seriously?? What are you saying to me right now?? Are you asking me if I would help you escape your dark places by helping you end your life...?!?!" He knew immediately that he'd said the wrong things.

She erupted into tears, pulling away from his naked body. She ran from the room. He was left in shock. It was then that his heart started to build up walls against hers.

Seventeen years later, she ended her own life, unassisted, on Christmas Eve.

Girl Who Deserves A Chance

 Ryan, You asked me once, "Why do people love me?" I'll tell you why... Your energy is what makes people fall in love with you. It's how you make them feel. It is not your body, your money or your looks that make you magnetic. What makes you unforgettable is how you transform the hearts of people around you with your simple presence. That is your energy, that is your power, and that is why people love you. Jessica,     the girl who deserves a chance...

Backstage Stooge

 Dear Ryan,  You're delightful and a real treat to be around, a regular jack who's so down to earth. What you see is what you get with you. No pretenses, no false fronts, no ulterior motives or ill intentions. You're one to say what you're thinking with your eyes, you can never hide behind lies, and your sighs give you away. Although you're an exceptional actor, you shed those roles only to recreate yourself whenever you feel you need to. I suspect you've got some secrets and perhaps you very well could be a demon in disguise. But I seriously doubt the dark side of you isn't just as beautiful as the light side. You're no one's fool and you're fooling no one. You've simply got to walk in any room and your energy speaks for itself. You're one of a kind, and don't tell anyone, but I think my heart might become rather fond of you. Your co-star and backstage stooge, Jonah D.
