. This poem I am debating whether to turn it into a trilogy of poems or smash it
all into one big poem and also the name. I don't know if I want the 3
or 1 poem(s) to be attached to Nightingale since it is a basically a
continuation or if I want it to have it's own identity. either way
I’d like some feed back as to the name I guess

Sunset of an Angel V#2/ Nightingale Duex V#2

I have been displaced from comfort

No longer do I feel at home

Within my own

These sunsets we promised

That would never set

Fell the moment we parted

These three years past

And it’s a lie to say

I still don’t miss you every day

I’ve stopped coming home

Because every time

You’re still gone

And I’m left with an empty heart

An every time I write about you

Your figure is always turned into an angel

No matter what I say

You always turn out perfect

But I don’t want you perfect

I want you to be human

If our sunset had never come

And these raindrops on the window

Stopped bringing back your tears

Could I tear myself away

Feel the nothing I did

Before I ever touched your hand

I’ll linger over the years

Waiting for your

On these cold rainy days

I know you hate

Hoping to see you running

Through the mist

Still you never come

And I can’t sit forever

(Standing in the door way you’ve closed)

I try to convince myself

Everything is fine

(It was always a lie)

When I felt nothing for life

(Except for when I was with you)

And I know how sorry we both are

For leaving without ever saying good bye

Without ever exploring what could have been

(Who remembers who the most)

You were once my nightingale

(Now just an angel in my dreams)

You were always my muse

(Don’t you know…I stole all my inspiration from you)

I’ve come to realize without you I’m nothing

(Just a shell no golden word shall ever flow)

Not even the blood of angels could replace you

Now the seasons of changed

You’ve returned to the state

Of sunsets in orange

And clear skies

Where the Penn weather

Drags you down no longer

A Florida Angel

And I’d change it all

If you’d just promise

To come back home

And never leave again

Because every time you leave me

I lose all trust in time

Blending together in the sunset

I lost you in.
