Endure My Heart

"Release Me"

A poem or short story by Daniel Bailey (aka) the Danman258

        "Release Me"

Last call for drinks

And they called out for last song

I told the band

Grab your stuff

And leave a mike and guitar

For this last song is in my heart

I looked out to see, that all who were standing

Were only standing to hold each other up

I don't drink and know not what they feel

But it looks like the numbness of my heart I will reveal.

We had been playing blues, jazz, pop rock

And all were tired, drunk, and just plain ready to go

Much fun was had, and time to pack and I started to strum my strat.

My guitar started to ring memories as eyes started to flair and one lady started to sing along.

You see the song was a country song from years ago. And I first learn it in my early days when my agent would book me with anybody and the leader told me to learn this song and you will always work as a musician.

And as I started to sing the first line

The crowd was back on their feet singing along

And my eyes and ears were amazed that black, white, Mexican, Indian, the young, the old were all singing proudly this endearing country song.

How did so many people know this song?

As I ended the song many kept singing as the lights were turned on

I wanting to get back to my wattpad friends started to pack and head for the door

As one of the band members drank his last shot while still singing

And as we all poured out the door our singing became whispers our whispers became hums

I jump into the backseat of my manager’s car and notice no one had turned their radios on

No one wanted to stop the feeling that started from this little old country song

And as we pulled away I saw a man who seemed to be drunk laying on the ground

Singing as loudly as he could in the worse pitch possible

Please release me let me go.
