Ericka Johnson Poems

My women's Intuition gives me this sneaking suspicion

that the truth is really different from this story you're presenting
...

What if I cheated DEATH
Would it come back for revenge?
And if it missed a second time,
Then would it take my friend?
...

Feelings of suspicion
Racing through my mind
In situations like this one
The truth is hard to find
...

You lied you cheated, it tore me apart
Put me through hell, yet still have my heart
I don't understand it, it's so strange to me
You hurt me, I love you, how can this all be
...

It happened on a Monday. For reasons unknown, someone took your life away.

I heard about it two days later, but wasn't sure if it was you. Couldn't breathe just thinking about what life would be if this is true. I called your cell phone and your Mom, but couldn't get through. Refused to admit or even say it, but I think deep down I knew...
...

Last night I dreamed
of you
How your hair would curl
around your face
...

All my bags are packed
but I'm not ready yet
Friends like the ones I'm leaving
are extremely hard to get
...

As they fall I wipe them
the tears from my eyes
You ask me but it's obvious
No need to wonder why
...

I'm in love, I don't think, I know
I cannot bear to let u go
I'm sure I know how love can feel
But tell me boo, Is it all real
...
