ART + LIFE
Corrupted By Love
I knew this girl. She was beautiful, for all her life. When she was twelve, she fell in love..... With her step-father. Because of this she confessed her love to him but he responded, "I have no interest in children." So she left to boarding school, in which she had grown even more beautiful. A lovely lady. She returned at age 16. She said she had worked hard to become a beautiful woman for him.
And thus she professed her love to him again and he turned her down again. So she tried to seduce him, but the man loved his wife and said, "I would never be able to hurt your mother."
The girl, angered, staged a scene. Made it look as if she and him had made love, for her mother to see. The mother, surprised as she was, believed in her love, but left him nonetheless, claiming that staying with him would only bring pain to her daughter. Seeking help for her daughter, she sent her to another boarding school. In that school that girl had been found being "violated" by a male teacher. She claimed it was rape and he spoke only of love for the beautiful child. He was sentenced to prison. When she came back she told me with a smile, "In reality, I lied. I gave myself to him willingly. It was great to be wanted. He told me he'd help me forget about him who I loved. Although I knew it was a lie, I still did it. I loved the feeling he gave me. With him I realized I love the feeling of being held like that. I want to experience it again and again." In reality, I knew she had been corrupted by her first love, yet I could think of nothing to say that could help her. As she saw my worried face she smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be very happy." I knew, for a fact, it was a lie, but if you'd seen her face, you'd know, at that moment nothing in the world would convince her otherwise.
Unfortunetly, in the end she became nothing less of a w****. Her tainted body seen already in a million videos and pictures. That which was graceful and pure had become corrupted and sinful. After many years of her life separate from mine, she found me again. I looked at her and asked, "Are you happy?" She began to cry and said, "I've been in so much pain." I knew it would be like this. I wish I could've warned her. But through the tears a smile arouse, "but yes, I'm very happy. I'm going to be very happy." This I could not understand, but the crooked, shameless smile, that frightened me, seemed to be hiding something. At that moment, I did not realize, what it really meant, those words and that smile.
Later that day, I received a call, she died. No she killed herself. I rushed to the police station, they gave me a letter, that which she had left for me.
She wrote:
I have, through my life, suffered too much. I couldn't take it, not anymore.
I wanted to tell you, my friend, my biggest mistake was leaving you.
If I had stayed with you, I'm sure I would have found the strength, but it's too late now.
I give up.
Disgusted by the last words, I ripped it to a million pieces the moment I read it. As I walked home, I realized I had not cried. For the person who I admired as a child, a person I held within my heart many years ago, I could not shed a single tear for.
She said she could've found strength with me. Foolish. She knew nothing of me. She had become selfish, when she fell for that man, she only concentrated on herself. On him. Forgetting about who I was.
That night I called her mother and I told her everything about the man she loved. About her daughter. And about what the man had done. He said, "I would never be able to hurt your mother," to her. Yet many nights he would seek me.
He had a girl, who held the beauty of the world, after him. A woman who took care of him, gave him the world. Both who loved him. Yet he seeked me. I despised him. And with his hands he took every part of my body and destroyed it. He was nothing more than a devil. Why those women loved him, I could not understand. Many times telling her this was something I wanted to do, but she had forgotten about me, because of him. As I spoke to her mother she cried. I said goodbye.
After that I drove for many miles and entered an institution for mental health. I told them all. After analyzing, I was to stay. For many years all I thought was about that incident. About her. About him. About me.
I knew I would never be happy. Her biggest mistake was leaving me, but I believe if she had stayed, I'm sure she would have died by my hand. For her stupidity. Her selfishness. For all she became. I would only have felt hatred for her. Much more than I feel now. "Friends." Is a friend not supposed to help a friend when in need? Yet I was left alone. But it's strange. I can hate her. But when I think of him, I feel no resentment. No hatred. Not a single thing.
I suppose all her love for him corrupted her, the love her mother felt for him, blinded her from reality, and my feelings of inferiority, brought to me strange pleasure. That he had chosen me. For certain, it was against me will, but for once I found her flaw. Behind all the beauty and all the strength, she had been very selfish and cruel.
In the end we all became corrupted. For their love for him, his love for me, and my love for her. The strange square of red strings that held us all together. That which corrupted us all together. Was what a fated path that led directly to pain.
The pain brought upon by sadness, greed, anger, pride, envy, sloth, gluttony, and what I believe to be the eighth deadly sin, love itself. A vice stronger than all and as pure as it is, it still corrupts all souls which it embraces. Through sadness and pain.
Nothing comes without a price. Nor God's love, Nor the Devil's welcoming.
In this world all we are is objects wishing for a second of life.
A shost oneshot I wrote, I think it came out pretty good. It's a about a girls point of view in her and her friend's life. Has a little to do with the seven deadly sins and other stuff...... Anyways I hope you all like it.
