Lauren Johnson: Favorites

“Falling in love” is a contradiction in itself, because in love there is only the rising, the ascending, not the falling.
You can not fall in love, but rather, rise.

Pretty but Sad

If eyes are the window to the soul
It's no wonder why mine are blue

Quicksand

I was drowning in quicksand
You said reach for my hand
But all I could think of was
Pour me another drink
And let me sink

Love is not blind,
but he who did not see your worth.

"Would you like to be mine ?" He questioned with sincerity.

"I would, but before being yours I'd like to be mine." She answered.

You were always loving me "despite"
I needed you to love me "because"

I wrote a poem

I wrote a poem

I wrote a poem when I died...
Another at my birth.
A brand-new sonnet when I cried.
And again when there was mirth.

A song for my confession...
A story for my pain...
A painting for depression...
And nursery rhymes for rain.

My creations live inside my heart.
I keep them there in shame.
Yet you looked around and saw my art,
And smiled all the same.
