• Gun-man,
    I grew up with you,
    Barely standing to your shoulder.
    Kind and fierce
    Best of all of us.
    She grew up without you,
    Gun-man,
    Look at her smiling as she holds him.
    You did this, gun-man.
    Abandon and deceit
    Crushed them all into hope.

    You never knew me as one of them,
    Gun-man,
    Though you shot me soon after we met.
    Dark horse heartthrob
    Dancing in your underpants.
    Father, brother, teacher,
    Jerk.
    Quit giving us a chance.
    You sent me to sleep
    While you slipped away from us all
    With your last bullet.

    Last I heard,
    You'd shot a newly-wed
    Bearing your child.
    Gun-man, I hope it's fatal this time.
