*stars at the bottom of his bottle and taps his foot*
In this dim-lit tavern, silence wraps 'round my guise,
Lost in shadows, where loneliness lies.
A rogue am I, dancing with the night,
Bottle in hand, drowning the silent fight.
Moonlight whispers of tales untold,
A heart cloaked in armor, but aching, and cold.
In this solitude, shadows as my kin,
The bottle's embrace, where my solace begins.
Steel-clad jesters jest, but I stand alone,
In this crowded labyrinth, my heart's own zone.
Emotions swirl, yet I play the part,
A rogue's lament etched in the quiet of my heart.
The bottom of the bottle, my only confidante,
A medieval ballad, a solitary chant.
In this rogue's tale, a sorrowful decree,
A symphony of loneliness, echoing within me.
