When I told her, “It’s not you, it’s me”
I just knew she’d beg me to stay
But I miscalculated
When I said, “It’s over
I’m just not happy”
I thought she’d cry
But she smiled
And said
“Bye”

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."
