A shot at Love

Chapter 10

Eyes...

Veil...

Is she fine??

It's midnight!!

Why can't I sleep???

Ugh!!! I was at the hospital, working my ass of for two straight days, yet I can't sleep.

After changing sides on the bed a hundred times, I finally get up, throwing the quilt, in which I was previously lying in, on the floor. But as I get to the door, I turn back timidly, pick up the quilt and put it back on the bed.

I mean it isn't the quilt's fault that I can't seem to sleep... But this insomnia is no news. It's been years since I slept for a mere three hours straight.

Once, I am out of the room, I am dumbfounded!

What do I do??

A bottle of wine in one of the many shelves containing many kinds of alcohol, in the far-off corner of the lounge, catches my eyes, it's bottle is Persian Blue in color.

Persian Blue.

Memories from the day, earlier come to my mind....

I ignore the bottle. Grab my phone from the bedside table in the room I was in earlier and head outside to the patio. But once I am there.... There's nothing to do!

I saw her eyes through a veil

Felt a rush of blood through my veins

The words catch my attention as they suddenly jump out from oblivion and to my mind.

What was that?? I am rush inside and look for a notebook.... That old notebook wrapped in a black leather cover. But wait! Where is it?

I run to the master bedroom, where I sleep but I don't remember where it is. It's useless to look for...

I saw her for the first time in the rain

Felt shattered when I saw her in pain

O! No! I need something to write on...

I grab a charcoal pencil from the drawer, I swore to myself I'd never open again and start scribbling on the wall opposite to my bed.

What was...

I could see, she was tied up in a chain

One that breaks your heart and brain

Was she really the one tied in a chain

Or was it a reflection of me? I'm insane!

I write down every single word that comes to my mind... It's not that I am thinking about it all, it's just coming to me. My thoughts are fighting with each other. It's new to me.

I wish I could show you the words on this wall

And make you mine, once and for all

' What have I done?' I think to myself as I am done with the last verse on the wall. How can I think like that. Make her mine? I scoff at myself in my mind. I only saw her for the first time in my life.

I clap my hands once and the lights go on, illuminating every single word that I wrote down.

Wow!?

I start reading it out loud....

I saw her eyes through a veil

Felt a rush of blood through my veins

I saw her for the first time in the rain

Felt shattered when I saw her in pain

I could see, she was tied up in a chain

One that breaks your heart and brain

Was she really the one tied in a chain?

Or was it a reflection of me? I'm insane!

I stop when I see the next verse. I stare at it for a good amount of time... And walk out of the room.
