'A Ribcage Ripped Open' by Ravyn LaRue

Ah you are so open
In so many senses of the word
You are accepting of differences
And accepting, too, of all my faults
But you are also open to new things
Which even among many of my friends is a rarity
Openness does not exist where I am now
But you are the epitome
And I feel honored to show you some things for the first time
Like my favorite movie, for instance
I fell in love all over again with it when I saw your face light up as it began
And current things like Hedwig and TGWTG and such
It's so wondrous that you allow yourself to experience the world
So many I know of have already begun to cut themselves off
I do that too sometimes, I'm afraid
So you are such an inspiration in that way
And I love you for that

'Asks' by Ravyn LaRue

I have gathered asks off of tumblr

It began when Joe and I were playing truth or dare

And no one wanted dares

So we ran out of interesting truths

Fairly quickly

But since then

I’ve captured as many questions as I can

In hopes to ask my friends in person

Since I want to know all I can

About you in particular

Since you fascinate me

But only answer if you want

'The Wind So Cold It Burns' by Ravyn LaRue

Hey Doll
You know I'll probably do this 'til I die
I'll be rotting away
And you'll be preserved in perfume and plasticine forever
But I don't mind
The world may not deserve you
But we deserve each other
And I know I ain't got as much to offer nowadays
What with the great depression and all
But I still have more of a soft spot for you than anyone else
I only admit that to you, I'll have you know
I fucking hate Chicago
I don't even care
I fucking hate it
But I have you so I stay
I get the only measly crumbs of satisfaction I can afford
From seeing you
Those big brown doe eyes
Fuck, this softness is what fucked us all up
I'll tuck these slips of butcher paper in with every deal we make
And you'll read this
And I know I have something
As all else falls into hell
Still they say hell's a party
And you're the life of all parties
So as long as I have you
I know I won't turn entirely to ashes
Though I am blackened and burnt
You're all I've got, doll
And kid, you're a whole lot more than enough

'Musical Genius' by Ravyn LaRue

I love how brilliant you are
At things I'm illiterate to
Yet I know enough to love
Of course
Since I have ears and a heart that palpitates
So although I do not understand
I know you are a genius
No one else can improvise a harmony
As you can tell I'm still awestruck
And the fact that you're chasing down music
The mighty near intangible beast
Is such an honorable thing
And yet another reason why
You are more than merely mortal

'Skype' by Ravyn LaRue

I'm so glad I got Skype
Though you're the only person I speak to on it
But I see your lovely face
And all my troubles melt away
So Skype is marvelous
Since you are marvelous
And I adore speaking to you
Even if it's merely over grainy laptop cameras and faltering speakers
But I love you
And I miss you
But skyping makes everything right

'Achubwr' by Ravyn LaRue

Oh love
Thank you for putting up with all my many complaints
Not many do
And you’re more than sweet to have such patience with such a one as I
I’m so uncertain about everything and you offer such a steady shoulder for my to cry my eyes out onto
And that really means a lot
Of all my friends, I think you’ve seen me cry the most
Since I’m so comfortable with you
And often what we feel is shared between us
You’re tough and resilient and I just spill my guts out all too easily
But we’ve had shared circumstances you’ve helped me cope through
And you know we triumphed against them all
You and I are triumphant together, that’s all there is to it!
Which is why I struggle to keep my head barely above the cold suffocating water
It is you I call out for
Since I know you’re always at the shore to listen
Which is, my love, more than I could ever ask for
And I’m sincerely grateful
