Lou couldn't believe

Buck was practically begging her to leave

He was such a jerk!

Although the man could smirk.

No! She was better off

Without them all

She walked away

No reason to stall

Lou stepped into the saloon.

She fired a few rounds

"Shady Shamus McGettigan,

I'm here to talk to you."

He looked stunned.

"What's gotten into ya, Lou?"

Lou did grin,

As she punched him

right across the chin.

He staggered back

Not expecting the attack.

"Consider that my request

For a divorce, I think it best

Unless

You prefer the whole death do us part?"

She asked aiming her gun at his heart.

Shamus did not want to admit defeat.

"Lou, Love... my sweet!"

To which Lou's response was a cock of her gun.

"Okay!"

He has lost this battle, but

the war however had just begun.

"I promise to set the record straight

But I still believe we're destined, Lou. It's fate."

"You can believe whatever you want.

You lost me when you pulled that little stunt.

Now, I realize I don't need ANY guy

You can thank The Skirt for why."

"He's helped my see the light

Why should I be the one to fight

None of you are worth the trouble.

So, I'm outta here on the double."

"I swear if I see either of you

Any time soon..."

She'd let him fill in the blank

As she stormed out of the saloon.

Shamus was mad as hell.

He let out a wild yell.

"BOYS! Find the Skirt!

I want him HURT!

Make him eat DIRT!"

Shamus wanted to tear the Skirt apart.

He was suppose to break her heart.

Not tear him and Lou apart!

Lou found a random horse

Tied a few blocks down.

She didn't know who

it belonged to

But now it belonged to Lou.

She was off to BG

To clear the name of CG

And perhaps to see

If there was a way to

not feel so empty.
