Stumble out to the bar.
"Take one more look at her, and it will be the end of your days.

White knuckles when the hit lands, cold concrete and blurred vision.
Stumble home from the bar.
Stuttered steps home to your front door.
On the tip of your tongue, your remorse.
Shamed by the loss and defeat.
Shamed by your let down to her.
The same walk as that first night.

Her ring lies in the thick red, your tears swell, and the room spins.
"Dear God"
What have I done?
