Chapter 43: Quixotic.
I tapped the rim of my glasses with the rim of my wine glass.
So much music.
So many sounds.
One more time!
So high class.
In such a low place.
And I don't like the sounds that come from underneath my bed.
Because they remind me of exactly what she said.
"I can't stand looking at the world through this stupid frame..."
It's a damned shame
That some of us just have to live that way.
And things can get ugly before they get beautiful.
And love can get lonely
Because caring takes two
You know?
If I always do for you because I love you more than you love me
What will become of me?
Not more than a man
Nor a knight.
A slave.
A sullen knave.
Trying to pave
A way to save
The love of his life all in a single day
But lost at sea...
Whoe...
This wine has gotten to me...
And as I try to walk
More like swim
Damn, I'm drunk...
It's sinking in.
Ssssink Kitch...en?
Floor.
No more.
No more.
The dark thoughts I've been holding out, are slowly breaking in.
And as I lay here
The room...It's starting to spin.
All of the colors are starting to shatter and blind...
And only moments ago, I tapped my wine glass to my wide glasses.
Funny how quickly time passes.
Funnier how quickly those words trashed it.
Funniest still how quickly I got past it.
You know that I'd do whatever you want.
And at that, the world's laughing...
Not a knave,
Nor a slave lost at sea.
Not a fool,
Nor a tool.
A loyal man...that's me.
So as the music grew louder
and the lights grew brighter
And my mind and heart did flower
I found her...
A symphony.
And If on this road I should ever stray
I pray
That you muster whatever love...
Or hate you have left
And send for me.
But make sure that when you do, you send your best into that darkness.
Yami.
Send for me.
Like I was marked for dead.
Infamy.
Because If I'm lost
When you get to me,
I promise you that I will fight that fear without a single tear
Like a knight should fight his greatest enemy...
Bah...here comes the darkness.
Passing out while drunk is always
Part shame
Part bliss.
God, I hope she gets this...
