9:40 P.M.
There was a moment last night where the whole world seemed to stand still. There was a silence that warped my ears as the lyrics cut deeper than I could have ever imagined.
I have heard the remixed dance song "Damaged", by Plum at least a hundred times but last night something was different.
I was standing there on the dance floor drinking my vodka-cranberry, sort of swaying with the music....
A cold chill came over my body.
I closed my eyes.
I swayed, and BAM!
I felt numb as she sang,
"Dreaming comes so easily
Cause it's all that I�ve known
True love is a fairytale
I'm damaged, so how would I know?
I'm scared and I�m alone
I'm shamed and I need for you to know
I didn't say all the things that I wanted to say
And you can't take back what you've taken away
Cause I feel you, I feel you near me
I didn't say all the things that I wanted to say
And you can't take back what you've taken away
Cause I feel you, I feel you near me
Healing comes so painfully
And it chills to the bone
Won't let anyone get close to me
I'm damaged, as I�m sure you know
I'm scared and I'm alone
I'm shamed and I need for you to know
I didn't say all the things that I wanted to say
And you can't take back what you've taken away
Cause I feel you, I feel you near me
I didn't say all the things that I wanted to say
And you can't take back what you've taken away
Cause I feel you, I feel you near me
There's only for my soul
And undo this fear
Forgiveness for a man
Who was stronger
I was just a little girl
But I can't look back
I didn't say all the things that I wanted to say
And you can't take back what you've taken away
Cause I feel you, I feel you near me
I didn't say all the things that I wanted to say
And you can't take back what you've taken away
Cause I feel you, I feel you near me
Can't go back...
Can't go back...
Can't go back...
Can't go back...
I can't go back...
I can't go back...
I can't go back..
I must go on...
I must go on...
I must go on...
I must go on...
I must go on...
I must go on...
I must go on...."
The song came to an end and tears spilled from my eyes.
I walked around the club hoping to lose the emptiness that had found it's way into my heart.
It's a day later and the song still haunts me........
And as you read this..... Know it has nothing to do with .......
