Fools for Love
I'd seen 3Gun
Asked about Buck
It would seem
Bruce ran into some luck
Good at least
I didn't have to help.
I know that's not kind
But it's just how I felt.
I moved on to request
number two
Given to me
by Lou
Find Shamus...
I wasn't sure where he was
But thought I could guess
He was trying to find CG
I thought he might
The papers a lie
He wants to fight
This was no good-bye
It didn't take him long to see
He may have an opportunity
If he could get to CG
He hadn't of course
Said something about
Being chased off by some horse
So, I knew what I had to do
I said, "Lou's looking for you."
He immediately chose to follow
I didn't have time to wallow
Buck, Shamus, Billy
too many for me
It hurt, it killed
A bottle flew past me
It smashed, it spilled.
I looked into a pair of eyes
And seen my own pain
And then she brought me back
to reality again.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Wondering if you're out of ammo,
or you're still planning to combat?"
She smiled. It was only slight
But it changed her
From a woman in pain
To a beautiful sight.
She held out her hands
"Unarmed now see?"
"So long as a woman
Has a tongue she's
Never unarmed...
Wouldn't you agree,
Sweet Annie?"
She knew Shamus?
I should have known.
The banter started and
I stood there alone.
At one point we were introduced
But I decided to move on and
Look in on Bruce.
If Lou was around
With Buck she would be
But instead the room
seemed to be empty.
Bruce woke up
Finally answers at last
But no he hadn't seen them
Since before the blast.
Then as he lay there in bed
He asked about the redhead
I'd told him what I'd seen
"Wait what...Shamus been hitting...
on her... But why would she?"
"She said she loves his accent
It was hard to forget."
I dug the knife a little deeper
I'm not sure why yet.
I know I should move on
but this was wrong
Just the same old scene
Being caught in between.
"I'm going to find Lou."
Though I didn't have much hope
The jerk
laid back with a smirk,
"You best hurry
before Buck and Lou elope."
I deserved that crack
but the truth, it hurts
I may never get Lou back.
