Joelle Johnson Poems

You're gone;
There's no point in pretending.
It only moves me backwards,
Or to tears.
...

Did you forget heaven?
Or did heaven forget you?

You think you look in eyes of blue,
...

I can still see your face,
But I know that it's not there.
I pray that you'll come home,
Returning from nowhere.
...

She carries penciled-in wings,
And beautiful things,
That her world refused to see.
She has trials unheard,
...

Those who don't deserve; smile,
With disease in their laughter,
And fear in their eyes.
I'm dying younger everyday,
...

She stood,
But a nightmare apart.
The blade that she'd loved,
Pierced through her heart.
...

The world is ending all around
I'm awaiting your call, not letting go.
This anarchist love is taking me over,
With the depriver left in my hands.
...
