I sat down with her[00:00:01]
And she told me her story[00:00:02]
And I told her I loved her[00:00:02]
And I just wanted to support her through her recovery[00:00:03]
And through conversations, I listened, and I feel like this is the best way to interpret what she told me[00:00:07]
The devil found a clever way to infiltrate and bring his manipulation;[00:00:13]
A slender blonde in a cocktail dress struggling through the intoxication[00:00:17]
Brought on by the gifting of drinks until she was ready to payback in the bedroom[00:00:21]
In search to appease the demons in her head on a sterile surface in the bathroom[00:00:26]
Looking into a half cracked, half filthy mirror hoping she doesn’t reflect[00:00:30]
That half cracked, half filthy receding stain of a smile her mother made when she left[00:00:34]
Because the promises she made to herself seem to be the hardest ones to keep[00:00:39]
And knowing she survived the last storm was no longer all she needed to be able to fall asleep[00:00:43]
Vacant wine glasses and late night crashes symbolic of her vessel with no presentation at the pallet[00:00:48]
But a spirit starving for remembrance some sort of legacy other than her occupation[00:00:54]
Because her normal skin looked like silk but had been masked by vengeance[00:00:58]
Baggage under her eyes deep within her overcompensating lies and all she saw[00:01:02]
When she gazed into the ending skies was regret from that manipulation[00:01:06]
This life of sleeping through the static of practice for the everlasting rush she hoped for[00:01:10]
She was somewhat ecstatic, but not for the first time[00:01:15]
Because she was reminiscent of those times that she would have those late night drives;[00:01:18]
Those moments when she would look back and say “How did I get here?”[00:01:23]
Those moments when she would look at old childhood photos and say “How did that child grow up to be like this?”[00:01:26]
When did I dismiss the morals that I subscribed to? I don’t know what to do[00:01:31]
And she looks at photos of her beautiful mother in her youth and is envious of that smile she had when she was twenty-two[00:01:36]
And she wishes she could say the same for herself but she’s lived in a self-perpetuated hell[00:01:42]
Because she took the literal stains and the literal scars and turned them into the emotional drain and then she fell apart[00:01:47]
And I’ve never really been one for taking second chances on times that I’ve been broken[00:01:53]
But sometimes forgiveness needs to be put in place for someone to actually grow from these negative emotions[00:01:58]
And all that constructive use of the pain that’s thrown at you is the only way to find refuge[00:02:03]
So I’m gonna tell you this darling, every time you tell yourself that you’re not worth it[00:02:07]
Every time you tell yourself you’re worthless[00:02:14]
You're being lied to[00:02:16]
And in that case[00:02:19]
The liar is you[00:02:20]
