Top Ten Sixers

10. Didn't know how to save her.

9. Too bad I don't miss you.

8. I'll never leave you alone again.

7. You never noticed I wasn't there.

6. Never knew how bright you are.

5. I wouldn't look at me either.

4. Broken homes lead to broken kids.

3. You can be my little lie.

2.She'll never see this broken smile.

1. You're not alone. I am instead.

Impuse Two

Foreman- Have you ever used a chainsaw?
Tucker- Yeah, once or twice.
Foreman- Good. Cause we're putting you down the hill with Joe. You cut the trees and we'll haul 'em up.
Tucker- Sounds good. Thanks for the job by the way.
Foreman- Don't get all touchy feely. I'm only keeping you if you can work.
Joe- How's it going? Looks like the main line is down, that means we get a break. I'm Joe.
Tucker- How long till it's running again? I'm Tucker by the way.
Joe- Ten minutes or so. So how long have you been out here?
Tucker- Two days. It's beautiful.
Joe- Yeah, I guess. What brings you?
Tucker- Just looking to get away for a while.
Joe- I can understand that. What are you running from?
Tucker- Nothing. I just need to clear my head.
Joe- Look kid, no one just picks up and moves out here for no reason. What about your family? Where are they?
Tucker- I only ever had one person. She's gone now. Nothing to keep me there now.
Joe- She die?
Tucker- No. She left.
Joe- I'm sorry. Why did she go?
Tucker- No idea. Her letter didn't say.
Joe- What did it say?
Tucker- Just that she was living in New York. She is happier now.
Joe- Huh. Still doesn't explain why you are here.
Tucker- I can't help but try and look for her. But I know she's happier without me. All I wanted was for her to be happy. The further away I get, the easier it is to let go. This is as far away as I could think of.
Joe- Well, you definitely picked the right place. People get lost out here all the time.
Tucker- I might like that.
Joe- It will happen. But it looks like they fixed to problem. Back to work.

Impulse

1- It really is beautiful.
2- What?
1- This country, it is beautiful.
2- I guess. I'm sure it's more beautiful if you can come and go.
1- That is true. Can't you?
2- No. Not since I lost everything.
1- Me either. I've been stuck in this place for thirty years.
2- Then why stay in a hotel?
1- Physically, I've been in New York. But my heart has been in this room since I lost my everything.
2- What do you mean?
1-This is where we came, my wife and I. To see the beauty of Spain. It was her dream.
2- What happened? Why can't you leave?
1- I lost her. I went to get information for out arrangements the next day. I came back to an empty room. This empty room.
2- Did you ever find her?
1- No. Not really.
2- How did she die? Did you ever find out?
1- Oh, she's not dead.
2- What would keep her away? How do you know she's alive? Why would she disappear?
1- I got a letter. After I finally gave up the search. She is living in Italy. She is happier now.
2- Did you ever look for her there?
1- No. She is better without me. All I wanted was to make her happy. I will not take that from her.
2- Why not? You never wondered why she left?
1- Of course I did. But if she left, it means she wasn't happy with me. It doesn't matter why. The best I could do for her was let her go.

Bad Poetry

I miss you so.
But I understand why you let me go.
You only smile when I'm not around.
One of us is always upside down.

I let you go.
But it's not because I don't love you so.
Because darling, you will not ever know,
how much of me, is really yours.

I won't chase you.
Because I know that you wouldn't want me to.
It breaks me to know you're never coming back.
But I broke you first, a few years back.

I'll never see.
What you look like kneeling across from me.
With those two mirrors standing face to face.
And the happy tears streaming down your face.

At least I know,
you'll be happy now that you've let me go.
I only dragged you down.
Now only one of us is doomed to drown.
