Night Returning
So this made me do stupid things. Like follow her where ever she went. Painful voyeuristic moments of watching her in nightclubs with other people. Drunk on my miserable want of everything in the world to burn and die. She laughed at me when I stumbled at her table at The Tunnel and professed that she never meant anything to me, that I was in love without her. I told her the fire still burned for me whether she wanted to admit it or not. It’s then that she laughed. She said Shane you need to get over it, it was high school….
I should have taken her advice. In hindsight it was really good advice. Of course if I saw her now I would devour her soul to make us even for ripping out my heart…
I was getting closer I told my drunk self. I was getting closer all the time. For some reason I felt the need to want to drink myself to death. This girl had me thinking that I wanted to die, that life just wasn’t worth it anymore. So I bought a bus ticket. The first bus leaving was going to New Orleans, Louisiana. It was close to home my real home. I figured that was as good a place as any to get lost and die in.
How romantic I thought waiting at the Port Authority, with the bums and hookers and castoffs, I will go and die and drink and die. I drank the rest of my flask and paid one of my lonely bums 50 bucks to get me a refill. I waited outside the liquor store for him with a cigarette hanging off my lip. I had three hours till my bus left so I had time. We drank the bum and me. He mumbled on about how things use to be for him and I couldn’t help but wonder if he had a Rachel that made him feel weak and insignificant. I gave him a smoke and wandered back to the line for the bus.
38 hours later I was in the suffocating heat of New Orleans. I checked the paper at the bus depot to find out the date. June 17, 1999. Soon enough Prince will never sing this song again.
