Decisions
"I wasn't there!!
Billy could have died!"
Lorne glared...
"It could have been you!" he replied.
"I'm still a deputy,
I should have been there.
I've been shirking my duties,
I haven't been fair."
"Myna, things have changed,
You have to think about us.
There's no more arguing!
Nothing more to discuss!"
"You're being unreasonable!"
Lorne just turns away
I feel the tears welling up,
But I manage to keep them at bay.
He take a deep breath,
Turns back around.
His face says it all,
He doesn't have to make a sound.
"Do it today,
No need to wait."
He kisses my forehead
"I have to go or I'll be late."
Turn in my badge?
What to do? What to do?
Maybe he's right
Maybe it is long overdue?
Turn in my badge?
It wasn't a request!
Who's to say,
He knows what's best?!?
Turn in my badge...???
