MP3 Description:
This is the pre-mastered version of one of the songs we wrote as part of our "Especially For You" Song Contest, where winners of our monthly trivia & essay/story contest win a song written especially for them by Poppermost based on their story. For February 2008 the theme was "What is the nicest way you've ever said, 'I'm sick of you, get out of my life?.'" Yes, we were doing the ANTI-Valentine thing that month. Here is the winning essay submitted by Summer Solstice that we used to create "Dark Summer." ******************************************** I never leave easy and I never leave kindly. Life is not a sitcom where breakups are clean and without anguish. There is no easy way to say, “Hey, thought I loved you, but I guess I was wrong, sorry.” I was in a 2 1/2 year emotionally abusive relationship. I didn't know who I was anymore; this once safe relationship had become my souls' hospice. He wanted to marry me and have two children, a boy and a girl. He wanted the nuclear family. I just wanted my f***g opinions and not his. One day I decided it was time to go. I knew if I did it face to face he'd just convince me, yet again, not to. So I loaded up my car, wrote a letter, and drove 200 miles away. There were broken walls but no broken bones. Eventually we talked again. We played the friends game for a time. One day he told me that I had changed, that I was not the same person he was in love with. I said I was, he just never really knew me. I never heard from him again. ********************************************* On a personal note from Ms. Tex to all our female friends... always believe in your own self-worth and never stay in any kind of abusive relationship -- emotional, physical, or otherwise. Know that you deserve respect from any person with which you come in contact. We ladies have to be strong and protect ourselves, but we don't have to do it alone. Always remember there are many support systems out there for anyone who needs help.
