Reigning in his own demise,
the alcoholic stumbles
Falling from the ramparts high,
hard upon the ground
A monarchy of lost regret,
in anger’s shame he crumbles
Trapped inside a broken dream
—heartache’s thorny crown

The psychi of a drukard nicely portrayed.A good read
Thanks you.
'A monarchy of lost regret,
in anger’s shame he crumbles
Trapped inside a broken dream'..
yeah, I too agree - that
supposedly heroic tale, (whichever version)
has a lot of egotistically - warped
bad decision making, staining its plot
and its portrayal of love, from
all three key characters
reaks: of selfishness and greed...
(a wonderful read, thanks for sharing Kurt)
Poignant commenting again, thanks LB.
