Damsel In Distress!

Imaging having your heart broken by someone you never gave your heart to. Imagine losing a piece of you to someone who made you lose yourself. Well, after a year and a half of experiences I must say that turning these thoughts into a reality is the last thing you should be looking forward to. However, It would be absurd for me to feed you realizations without first presenting you with a well plated story. So here's mine. Welcome to "Daph's Diary".

A little over a year ago I let the attention of a man get the best of me. I let lust replace love because I lost sight of who I was. It was as if he could sense the uncertainty spewing from my aura and while I started with "no", that quickly became "maybe". It didn't take long for that to become a "yes" and while this three letter word never left my mouth, my actions certainly spelled it out for him. Rather than being who I was supposed to be, I became who I felt he wanted me to be, but whose to say I wasn't that girl all along. And could I blame him? When better to prey on someone then when they're most vulnerable?

The art of being persistent can certainly get you whatever is is that you are pursuing and he taught me that. He mirrored gravity. The more persistent he became the more I... Well, let's just say hit every note to "I wanna be down", in the words of Brandy Norwood. But not just down. Lie down, he said. It was at this point his bed of lies became so much more than a figure of speech. He's the dog I chose to lay down with and believe me, I definitely got up with fleas.

Until next time, Love Always,
