Crystal Johnson Poems

Sing me a deadly lullaby, you better make it soft and sweet.
Hypnotize me, mesmerize me,
Put this broken heart to sleep.
Let me close my eyes, and let me rest inside your arms.
...

Down the road of destiny
you see your future life
you see your future children
and you see your future wife
...

She goes to school each morning
With bruises on her face
Clothes that are not matching
And shoes that are not laced
...

What did I do wrong here, daddy?
What did I say to make it end?
Why can't you just love me, daddy?
Why are you stuck in a life that's pretend?
...

Last night I had a dream of you
We were walking down a beach
Everything felt so perfect
My life just felt complete.
...

You cant reach the unreachable
you'll never reach the sky
you'll never make your dreams come true
but go ahead and try
...

I'm not the girl you think I am
You're blinded by my smile
I have so much to tell you
Sit down, this will take a while
...

This is for the nice girls that are overlooked,
Who become friends and nothing more.
Who spend hours trying to fix their personality,
Their looks, and their actions because obviously it must be that they are doing something wrong.
...

I see the way you look at her,
Like she’s the example of perfection, there in the flesh.
I see the way you long to be with her,
You stare at her hands as if they’re yours to hold.
...

I watched the sunset pass me by
And I whispered your name into the sky
I couldn't take it so I closed my eyes
And screamed my last good-bye.
