Rusted and speckled..
Gone through the Great Depression.
I carried you with me everywhere
But when I needed you the most,
You weren't there.

My lucky horseshoe was left behind
On the days I rallied behind you and your luck,
Well I needed you for the final time.

It was Friday,
One last class to go.
I chucked you out the window,
not realizing that things needed fixing.
You were the only one who could do the fixing.

Standing on my own.
