Farewell My Nightingale Poem by Laquory Jones

Sometimes I catch myself looking back I'm just
Stating facts it fades to black the moments
You can never get back while slipping through
The cracks I'm just trying to keep my brain intact
So cut me some slack as I search for success
But it only brings more stress I just want a frac
A portion of what I deserve I live and learn
Crash and burn and in return it only takes a blink
I begin to sink but what happens underneath
When words can't even speak or express the
Things that I want to confess but just can't
Because it's hard to try I remember I was in
Need of a friend then that's when we met and
Then I fret a modern day Romeo and Juliet then
Life started playing Russian Roulette and that's
When you left I'm just telling stories that runs
Through my mind with no specific date or time
And that's when you caught me in space hearts
Began to race and your words came into play

I heard you say I just needed a better spine
At first things were fine Never knew I was blind
It's funny how life can't rewind but just remind
You of the lost time that you let slip away it's
Like this every night and day Nightingale I hope
You are well hearts on swell does that rings any
Bells if yes please do tell because when I hurt
Tears begins to jerk I start to feel worst I hate
That I get emotional it's not traditional maybe
Relationships aren't meant to be conventional
Only seasonal I thought we were breaking new
Pinnacles through out the regional but I was
Wrong Now you are the topic of what we had
What we were it's all a blur do you concur
I sit and scream spit and dream of the then
And now It's too much to chow as I take a bow.
