he took my tiny hand
wrapped around his finger
you’ll do great things he would whisper
he taught me to shoot straight
with both my words and my weapons
he taught me to be strong
no matter what happens
stay honest is something he never needed to say
i saw it in him
every single day
work hard
even if it near kills you
storms pass
even if they near kill you
love your family
even if they near kill you, too
sometimes his eyes would be sad
but his words would ring true
if I can get through this
you can too
he comes to my table
whiskey in hand
he tells me I’m better
than any damn man

It was a wedding. Smiling, smiling, smiling. He held my hand. He twirled me on the dance floor. He bragged about my tight fitting dress and pointed to me from across the room. His eyes slowly becoming more and more glazed. Fun. That's what they see. We were always fun.
