John Johnston Poems

We met at the pool when you were just a kid
such a gentle soul, a life barely lived
i had to leave for a little while
you welcomed me back with that same warm smile
...

Its 2 am and I can't sleep
for the 4th time in a week
it goes in circles round and round
for the right answer can't be found
...

When did it happen?
When did it all go wrong?
When did you stop singing my song?
What have I done?
...

You bring out the best in me
A part that is rarely seen
It helps to know someone cares
For me that is really rare
...

I can’t cope anymore, it’s such a mess
I do what I can, I try my best
But for every step forward I take two back
I just can’t do it, I am fed up, I am jack
...

Left all My friends, my entire life
for promises of better days, its all a lie
your the only good, to come of me being here
its already been over half of a year
...

I Sit here alone thinking real hard
about the lucky draw of my cards
i found you in a real time of need
a good friend i found, a true friend indeed
...

I just want to hold you for hours at a time
but when i think like that i pull myself into line
for i know that you can never be mine
to wish for that is surely a crime
...

i am alone in this world and nobody cares
i could run naked and no-one would stare
they cant see me im like a ghost
A friend is what i really want most
...

As the days go by, closer we get
It can only get better yet
I feel happy, way more often
These are the days I thought I’d forgotten
...
