Angela Johnson Poems

Weeping willow standing tall
Keeping shade for the birds and all
Weeping willow, do you wonder why I sit by this tree?
The reason is for no one can see
...

As the morning sun rises, turning the dark sky blue
I think of you
As the cool summer, night leaves a sparkling morning dew
I think of you
...

Wonder if the world is still spending
Wonder if you are still counting pennies
Wonder if you still sleep so deeply
Wonder if you ever Miss Me
...

Where were you, when I needed you?
To share and to care about my unhappiness?
Where were you when I needed you?
Oh, to listen, just to listen
...

I thought you were my dream come true
I was wrong
I thought you loved me the way I loved you
I was wrong
...

When I die, please do not cry
do not shed a tear for me.
Just keep in mind,
that I am fine
...

What's it like to be all alone
To be out in the world on your own
No one to share the day you had
No one to care for you when feeling bad
...
