#059 Jolene

“If you’ve got a best friend named Jolene, be warned. I hear she’s a man snatcher.”

Heather lit a cigarette and lowered the volume on the station playing in her ears. She leaned against a tree and waited. No one paid her any attention while she watched her ex-boyfriend who was also waiting. For her.

When he waved to someone in the distance, a tear rolled down Heather’s cheek. Her cigarette fell and she snuffed it as she walked towards them.

“…and I cannot compete with you…”

“JOLENE!” A gunshot left her auburn hair mixed with blood on the ground.

Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green

Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your skin is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you
Jolene
