Raw
Started off a beautiful night
all dressed up and off to dance
laughing talking drinking wine
wearing my favorite pink pants.
Im not sure when it hit me
but i suddenly felt alone
beautiful people everywhere
everyone in their zone.
i was yearning for conversation
or some sort of sense of home
nobody cared to talk for real
i felt the need to roam
with nowhere else to go
drunk to the point of falling
i became very introspective
my heart felt sad and calling.
usually my nights out with friends
ended in bliss
happy happy happy
everyone a kiss.
tough times had been brewing
my mind just could not breathe
dancing and drinking
Didn't do it for me so i leave.
Got home and tears were falling
feeling insecure and lost
looking in the mirror
i saw a girl with such exhaust.
looking at my phone
with no inhibitions
i dialed a friend
who understood my sad conditions.
i looked a mess and felt the same
yet didn't care that night
usually id make sure i was
done and up and feeling right.
I listened to my heart
and took a chance and called.
I thought he'd be working
but he answered and i bawled.
it was foggy after that
not sure exactly what i said.
but as quickly as I hung up
He was out front like my bed.
I stumbled out bottle in hand
Jumped into his truck
he looked at me didn't say a word
and then i felt some luck.
He helped me into his house
and put me in the shower
he stayed in there while I bathed
Feeling so empowered.
hair all wet makeup gone
I stepped out into his towel
he wrapped me in dried me off
but wasn't on the prowl.
He held me close and looked at me
Eye to Eye and said
"This is when your the most beautiful"
Then carried me to bed.
A man of few words
but when he spoke i listened.
And that night as he told me that
my whole body started to glisten.
That comment has stayed with me
like no other I've ever heard
Whenever I feel sad or down
I image the night it occurred.
