Summary: A poem about Zack's pain as he leaves the squints.

Logic has ruled my life

Through the good and the strife

It has been my friend

My closest confidant until I met him

He made me laugh

And was, in my mind, my not-so-better half

Then there was Booth

An F.B.I agent greater than any sleuth

He didn't make me laugh

But he was my golden-calf

Next there's Dr. Brennan – Bones

Whose heart is no longer cold as stones

And next is Angela Montenegro

Who is not my cup of tea but my friend though

These are my friends

And I wish we could make amends

For what I did to them

They are more valuable to me than any gem

I never planned on hurting anyone

Trust me, killing is not exactly fun

He mislead me

Leading me down a cannibalistic killing spree

Even if I only took one life

It pains me to know what He did with a knife

He created this monster I have become

Thought it is not entirely my fault, I feel like utter scum

He told me it was logical

His hold over me was almost mythological

He promised it was for the good

Despite that he used the bodies for food

I believed him

This is my final battle hymn

Because of him, I betrayed those I love

No longer is my track-record like a white, pure dove

Murder eats away at you

While in a padded cell you stew

And think of what you did

I can never of this pain be rid

The tear she shed

"Forgive me," I pled

With a smile and a touch of her hand

I knew no longer she'd see me with a scarlet letter brand

He is hurt

Standing there in that wrinkled shirt

My best friend I betrayed

And for the first time in my life I prayed

They all stood there to wave goodbye

And I had to fight hard not to cry

Never again will I work by their side

As I do my atonement for those that have died

Never again will I put the pieces back

Putting the pieces back like a puzzle was my knack

Never again would we compete

Though I am sure I saw him cheat

For the title "King of the Lab."

Though I am sure the title he will grab

No longer am I the reigning King

When I committed that murder, my crown dropped to the floor with a ding

So this is my final goodbye

As I raise my hand to wave I sigh

I shall miss them all

Hodgins and Dr. Brennan most of all

But I will have the inside jokes

I shared with those folks

It is hard to leave

And as I hug them goodbye, my heart heaves

Goodbye to all

Don't forget to call

And remember most of all

How sorry I am about this brawl

If I could go back and change it all I would

I guess his logic I misunderstood

I made a mistake

Which I don't think I can ever shake

Goodbye to each of you

You don't know how much pain I am going through

So lets all share one more hug

And Hodgins can get back to his bug

"It's an anthropod!"

"No wonder you deserve King of the Lab" I say with a feeble laugh and a nod

The goodbyes end too soon

And I know that this whole time I had been a goon

And now here I sit in my cell

It is my hell in which I dwell

Paying my debt

And hoping they don't fret

Logical

Logic has ruled my life

Through the good and the strife

And in the words of Special Agent Seeley Booth

"Screw logic!"

Wow I suck at poetry but I wanted to write this for my little Zackeroni. You don't have to review but it'd be nice. Please no flames.
