Ain’t a whole lot ta’ say. He’s a fuckin’ drunk, got a temper too. Closed me up a few times- a lotta times, actually. .. Means somethin’ to me. Cares and all. I ‘unno.
Showed up on my doorstep with nothin’ to his name and his fuckin’ stomach split wide open. Took him in and cared for him, offered him work. Good kid. You got trouble with him, though, and you got trouble with me.
I can’t figure out which of us is more fucked. Yeah he’s got me payin’ back a debt that ain’t mine, one so big I won’t be finished with this ‘till I’m dead. And yeah, he’s tryin’ to hurt me, or kill me with these damn near impossible jobs he keeps sending me on. But each time he calls for me, I come back, and that’s pretty fucked when you think about it. I’d kill him if I could, and I’m the only reason I can’t.
I cannot put my finger on what it is he has made me feel. I've wronged him, sent him right into the mouths of hungry dogs and, still, I call for his company when the sun sets... Dear oh dear, quite a mess the two of us have fashioned.
You’re a rotten thing, ain’t ya? That’s alright. World does that to ya sometimes, makes you rotten. I don’t mind it, you do what you gotta do. You ever need anything, you know I’ve got ya.
I trust you far more than I have trusted anyone else. You've seen my rotten heart and still you stay. I hope I never lose you, Abner.
