The worst thing has happened
And I'm still hanging on
But what's worse than the worst thing?
It's the worst thing times two
Life seems so long now
That I have to live with the absence of you
It's crushing and hopeless and
It still isn't through
It cut me wide open
The day you had to go
And I'm here still bleeding
Still gasping for air and so very alone
I will miss you every moment I live
When I follow you into the dark I'll be looking only for you
I'll be waiting to finally give
The decades of love that had nowhere to go
Until then, do I dare try again?
Do I dare hope for a love that will stay with me here?
I once barely survived the loss of you
So how could I survive the worst thing times two?

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."
