Consider Me Gone
Loren had seen them
Well her...
Whispering in 3Gun's ear
It was her greatest fear
She refused to shed a tear
When she seen that smile
That grin she knew so well
3Gun would never admit
but he was under CG's spell.
Her song was over
The crowd seemed pleased
She needed to get away
She thought of AJ.
Suddenly the thought of a friendly face
Made her nearly want to race
Off the stage past the stair
She didn't stop, she wouldn't dare.
CG made a passing comment
Telling her to stay away.
Something about AJ
and a date
It was hard to hear over the state
The saloon was in
CrookedSmile gave her grin.
He called her over to the bar
"You got talent kid,
Wanna be a star?
Got any more songs to sing?
I've been looking for new talent
And you are just the thing."
Right now we only have 3Gun
And him singing Opera
Sent my patrons on the run."
"Sure,
I'll sing some more
I just need a little break
My ankle is sore."
CrookedSmile told her to hurry back
Loren craved a brownie snack
She didn't mean to be so abrupt
But she felt like she was about to erupt.
CG telling her to stay away
Had her confronting poor AJ.
"Have you gone on a date with CG?"
"Wha?! Who went on a date?! No, not me."
"Well that's what she said."
"Then it was all in her head.
I never went out her, Loren.
I been up to my elbows
In flour,
making noodle doughs."
"I knew no matter what CG might say
You wouldn't let her get in the way
Of our friendship,
You're just the sweetest!"
"You want a brownie, they're still heated?"
"I love you..
Loren stumbled.
I meant... TO... I'd love to,"
she continued to fumble.
Her face was bright red
*I can't believe what I just said...*
She hid her face and walked away.
"Sorry Loren, what did you say?
It's pretty hard to hear
With all the people in here."
"Could you say that again?"
She didn't know
if what he said was true
Or if it was just pretend?
She chose to play along.
"I'll be back, for my snack."
She went to the saloon
humming the tune
She decided her next song
would be...
"Consider Me Gone."
