[EM] 48 - One Night Stand
The one night stand...man, I was a master of the art of loving ‘em and leaving ‘em back in the day. A few choice words and a little cash on hand, and any girl you wanted would be weak and wanting in your arms by the end of an evening.
Since I got my soul back...the second time...there’s really been only one time I’ve...you know.
Darla.
Being with her...it ended the madness for good. It was the deepest pit I could crawl into and finally see the darkness that was choking me. I was sinking into my own private Hell. Hitting bottom was inevitable, but there were a lot of ways I could have done it. Some of them would have ended with me dead...some would have left me even worse off. I could have spent a lifetime alone just sinking further into oblivion, until I finally hit bottom and everything I’d lost was totally out of my reach.
But there was only one way that could have lifted the scales from my eyes the way they did...and Darla was it. I had to come full circle, well and truly, in order to realize that I was in the one place I swore I’d never go again.
And you know the funny thing? There’s a great deal of irony in that. When I was human, it was women like Darla who send me down the road that led me straight into her own fatal embrace.
But it was a woman like Darla...Darla herself, the one who damned me for eternity, that ended up saving me from total annihilation.
