Violets Are Blue



Roses are red
Violets are blue
Honeybees sting
And so do you!

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I wish I could hit you with my shoe!
Is there any common sense in you?!

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Bring this love back from the dead
Before I go crazy on you!

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Let the tears of yesterday
Water the seeds of tomorrow
Bright and in full bloom
Shiny and new


Roses are red
Violets are blue
Honey is sweet
But not nearly as much as you

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Let your love shine through
To give us life once more
Before my knees buckle to the floor

I loved you yesterday
I love you now
I love you tomorrow
I love you still, unconditionally
I love you forever

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I want you my whole life through
I need you each day and night in my life
Please make me your one and only wife
I love you more and more
With each day passing
A life without you,
Is not worth having
Your hand in mine
And everything will be fine

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Please let these words of mine
Be enough
To carry us through
Until the end of time.

Throughout my lifetime, I have been diagnosed with bipolar I, borderline personality disorder, anxiety, ADHD, and OCD. However, no one is actually convinced or definite on any one diagnosis. Nevertheless, I seriously do not need any diagnosis to know who I am. I am Heather M Ryan, and I am beautifully crazy in my own chaotic way; I almost always have a method to my madness. These are my feelings, my opinions, and my own personal thoughts. I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, but my life hasn't always been that way. I have been at most ends of the spectrum… rich and miserable, poor and madly in love, desperate, depressed, and homeless. Like my brain, I still have yet to find a happy medium in life. The last 45 years have left me in tears, shaking with fear and panic, running from a painful reality and past, the streets in the pouring down rain, homeless praying God would answer my prayers and send help, naked under the stars and in complete awe at how God works miracles just when you think all is lost. God has brought me from the deepest darkest depths of hell into the sunlight and has showered me with love and mercy time and time again. I look forward to enjoying this final chapter of my life with you and anyone else that would like to join us.
