XoXo, Me

Funny how life works

It was a Thursday


We worked horses till noon


Went to the courthouse and got married


The day we divorced


I worked horses till noon on a Monday


It’s that mundane


The beginning and end of an entire life


It’s that ruthless


The birth and murder 


It’s that silent


The bliss and the pain


I bought a bottle of Black Velvet for the drive home


You taught me that too 


Tear drops on tan hands


I’ll bite my lip


See you somewhere down the road again


My hair is longer than you've ever seen it


I'm healthier and stronger than you've ever seen


You missed the best parts of me 


I wish you would've stayed around to see it


XoXo, Gussie
