A life I could never provide
To a love I will never earn
I have to say goodbye
I need you
My selfish plea
A life that will never be
Like the spine of a book whose pages are worn
I am ragged, useless, never to be
A shell, a hope, a mere whisper to the departed
I reach out for your shoreline no matter the darkness
No matter the depth I have traveled
And every time you guide me home
Wishing in the end you will stay with me
I keep colliding into you
Like a meteor to the sun
You will never be mine
Somehow I am still yours
Can you want me
This halfhearted fool
You have placed your heart with another
A destiny planned, choices made, love withdrawn
Yet still I try to find my way to you
You are my home
Out of reach
The road to your arms is now gone
Lost, covered is pain and hate
Ruined with mistakes and lies
These are the words of desperation
A new poison seals our fate
A new toxin taints my dreams
So I keep colliding into you
Like a meteor to the sun
I know I will break you
Leave you lost
But how can I lose you
You are not mine
So I head out alone
Into the world of the nameless
My words remain hidden
Locked away where they are safe
For you have the power to break me
A fate I could not live through
In this my final plea
What could never be
A love so pure, so deep
It can only live within my mind
So I keep colliding into you
Like a meteor to the sun
So I don’t know where to start. How do you begin to thank people for believing in you when you didn’t believe in yourself? When you wanted to throw in the towel and they encouraged you to stick with it, give it time, to not rush it. Because they knew better than you did that when the time was right it would all work out.
Angela, Sarah, Jen, Nikki, Stephanie, Kerry and Melissa you ladies are my rock stars. Thank you for loving Synister from the beginning. For being honest when I needed it most. And above everything for giving this crazy ass rocker a chance to win your heart.
Kerry you are my one-woman street team and you are awesome. I honestly have no idea what I would do without you posting for me every day and everywhere. You are AMAZING!
Paige a huge thank you for all your yellow bubbles of “what did you mean” and “I need more here.” You truly made Synister better and I will be forever grateful.
Jeanne there are not enough words to convey a THANK YOU as enormous as you deserve.
To all the readers, blogs, and fellow authors that encouraged me along the way Thank You seems so insignificant for the gratitude I have for you.
Synister is just the beginning in the story of this crazy band of misfits and family. I truly can’t wait to see what the rest of the guys have in store for us.
Keep reading. Keep imaging and never stop dreaming. ~ AR
Alexis Riddley spends her day’s knee deep in the grind of corporate America, but her love of reading is what pushed her to put pen to paper. Bringing to life the stories that once existed only in her head. Alexis loves the outdoors, adventures, and music. Oftentimes music is the catalyst or the trigger for memories, and emotions that she uses in her writing. Alexis rarely watches television, but is a total comic book freak, superheroes, the whole lot of them. She is obsessed. Alexis is willing to try anything, at least once, as long as it keeps the soul free and the mind open. She is a kid at heart who refuses to let age define her and limitations contain her. Alexis is a romantic, with a twisted mind and sexy imagination. She still believes that happy endings exist, just that sometimes they do not come in the pretty packaging you may have expected.
