don't worry mother,
your daughter is a soldier
“I did not try to keep it from you.” He tells her, and she believes him so deeply that her reaction to it hurts more than she originally thought. T causes her to bury her face, feathers, blight, and all deeper into the snow. I know. She admits, though her words come through broken and sad, as though she’s swallowing hard against the sorrow and shame that overcomes her. She doesn’t want to hurt him, has never wanted to hurt him. And she hates the blight for what it’s done to her, what it’s done for her relationships.
She hates all of it.
And she hates it more when he doesn’t leave. Her feathers tremble, as she rises from the snow, tucking a wing into her side as she lets her black flecked eyes drift toward him. The blight within me doesn’t care. She tells him quietly, continuing on from what she’s said previously. It’s… like I’m not in control. It wants to destroy, to devour, and I’m helpless. It’s not an excuse, but an attempt at understanding.
It isn’t her.
How many times can she say that to herself and still believe it?
I’m so sorry. This makes apology three, so far. How many more would she have to go? Does it still even mean anything?
