Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Shakespeare in Love ❯ 61 ( Chapter 18 )

[ A - All Readers ]

Is it thy will, thy image should keep open
My heavy eyelids to the weary night?
Dost thou desire my slumbers should be broken,
While shadows like to thee do mock my sight?
Is it thy spirit that thou send'st from thee
So far from home into my deeds to pry,
To find out shames and idle hours in me,
The scope and tenor of thy jealousy?
O, no! thy love, though much, is not so great:
It is my love that keeps mine eye awake:
Mine own true love that doth my rest defeat,
To play the watchman ever for thy sake:
For thee watch I, whilst thou dost wake elsewhere,
From me far off, with others all too near.

Ever since Tsunade had begun dating Dan, Jiraiya had been having trouble sleeping. He would stay awake at night, images of the couple's activities dancing through his mind. Even when he could fall asleep, his dreams were filled with visions that left a searing flare of jealousy in his gut. He could never blame her, though. After all, it was his own fault that he loved her so much.
