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...

Whoa...

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...
