A day in my life and the red red wine!

What I felt that day proved to be exceptionally enlightening since her rejection gave me time to reflect about my own feelings and what mattered most in my life. I had been a bit off track in my youth as I wanted to find myself in the labyrinth of the world before I settled down and more than once I got in the line of fire when I wanted to do good in the world and be a hero. I should have known better than tried to listen to my enlightenment for it always failed me when I looked in the darkness for a light to show me the way to prosperity. However, I thrived on a challenge and I was very confident that I could deal with the one I was about to be troubled with. He was an old sailor who held acquaintance with the sea and its seven waves but that night he was blind with rage as his lover confessed to being unfaithful while he was away. He struck her on the face as he left her and I thought she could use a shoulder to cry on. She said she was fine but her eyes conveyed something else as they were pouring forth tears which told a story of sadness and heartache. I poured her a drink and she took the bottle off me as she drank and drank as if all she wanted to do was to silence and drown her grief inside her heart with the red red wine in the bottle. But all was in vain for the pain would not go away. Indeed, her tears had a dying fall which made her a very sad sight. The red red wine have had its effect on her and her mouth and teeth were coloured with the stain of the red red wine. Her breath gave off a redolent alcoholic whiff which intruded on mine. I felt that my space was being hijacked as she began to pour her heart out to me. She became hysterical as she began to speak loudly and dramatically and all of the sudden she decided to abjure my company.  So I left her and her pain in each others' company and went away to bed alone with my thoughts even though she was all heartbroken.
