Happiness

Happiness

By John M Lennon

Knowing this could never really be mine

Broken wondering mind 

Twisted thoughts to pass the time 

No longer do I look for words that rhyme 

I just want to remember the time when you were mine

One More Night

One More Night

By John M Lennon

Right here

I'll be waiting right here 

Every word listened to 

Every tear cried 

But still I was not by your side 

With each day to fade away, it's in your arms I wish I could lay

Looking forward to the promise of a new day and a new way 

As it's you that is in my heart to stay 

Every thought provoked words for you 

With which I use to joke 

But the truth of the day 

Is if it's without you I lay it's one more I have wasted away

But it's more then missing you, it's me missing us 

The laugher as we would play the smile you brought to me each day the comfort from each night as it was each other held tight 

But now it's from the memories I write just wishing for one more night 

Your Fate

Your Fate 

By John M Lennon

Mind twisted blank 

Provoked thoughts of love, but with nothing left to drink 

Words now strung together making you wait 

Here I lay down my final take 

Listening to each word your heart starts to race 

Your chest starts to pound it's your next breath you cannot take. 

Words to resonate, remind and replace 

As it's each fear refaced 

No longer able to hold me and or have my strength to embrace 

You see the final steps that have become your fate 

Pulling Past

Pulling Past 

By John M Lennon

Pulling the trigger on my own life 

The rhythm and rhyme of these words don't matter tonight 

No longer a pen 

It's this handle I grip tight

So as I pull from my past 

It's these last few moments I can not live past 

So there's no taking it back 

Because my life just passed with a flash

Words Said

Words Said 

By John M Lennon

A night to come and go 

A wish of warmth I let go  

Lost in the corners of my mind 

Words that circle with no rhyme

Lost but followed by one that's not mine 

It's the thought that you planted in my mind 

So now it's whispering words said 

Goodnight as I tucked you into bed 

Wronged

Wronged 

By John M Lennon

Too right all the wrong 

This is a new mission I have set myself on 

So if it's the middle of the night 

I will be the one that will do what's right 

All in the hopes of once again holding you tight 

Because you are the love of my life

Day By Day

Day By Day 

By John M Lennon

Depths to which this pain has crawled 

Tear soaked as I wrote it all 

Now it's as the pages in this new book are turned 

I see each lesson I have learned 

Pain to never go away 

I just have learned to deal with it day by day 

Pictured

Pictured 

By John M Lennon

A beautiful picture painted of our past 

These are the photos we'd hang on our walls 

The loving memories we always recalled 

So it is every smile and laugh 

Cherished memories of our past 

But rewinding 

Looking to see why it really did not last 

Now that is the picture that will forever last 

Tasked

Tasked 

By John M Lennon

Pictured painted on the wall

A love I can only recall 

Looking to the past, every thought as I collapse 

Sorrow now drowned in tears

Words that come out are no longer clear 

Looking forward but only from here 

Every word said in fear 

Letting go of you 

A task I can no longer do 

That is why I am saying goodbye to all of you 

Mine

Mine 

By John M Lennon

Depressed, darkness 

In my mind each thought begins and ends

Escaping this life of mine  

Never asked 

Never seen

As all I wanted was to disappear in time 

But it's as I cling to life 

A new riddle and rhyme 

I see what path has to be cut to make this mine

Again

Again

By John M Lennon

The soft touch of your skin

A warmth you let back in, 

My heart to be mended by your beauty 

All as I looked into your eyes at the end 

I knew you had ahold of my heart 

And never would let go again 

Appreciated

Appreciated 

By John M Lennon

To sharpen my mind 

Depicting every letter in each word I rhyme 

Letting go of a pain from the past 

Finally able to look forward to where I am at 

And it's as I knew this day would soon approach 

I question what was it of me that you appreciated the most 

Already Knew

Already Knew 

By John M Lennon

Drowning in this emotion for you 

What words can make this love come true

Here standing tall hoping to once again see you 

But it's as I already knew 

I have forever lost you 

Just One More Day

Just One More Day

By John M Lennon

A gift to turn to gold

This is what I've been chasing since I was 11 years old

An up hill battle each day

But it's the strength of your love

That got me through each day

And now as it's in Nashville I stand 

I can see I am well on my way 

Living the dreams each day

But still missing you in every way

So still wishing you where here today

And I would give it all back for just one yesterday

To Ask

To Ask 

By John M Lennon

Raw emotions mixed with words 

A pain deep inside you have never heard 

A past moment in time looking back at when I use to shine

No longer with words do I rhyme

As it's as each tear I cry trying to figure out why 

But alone on this night it's only myself I have to ask? 

Filled With You

Filled With You

By John M Lennon

Feeling a pain from within
It's just beneath my skin
Each pulse seems like the last crushing blow
But with each moment past there is one more
Lost without the comforts of you
A love I lost but never knew
Now all I can pray for is peace without you
As I let go of all I thought I knew
But still it's every thought filled with you

Too Late Today

Too Late Today 

By John M Lennon

Listen to gods words

But in this darkness voices can't be heard 

But waiting for his guiding hand

I reach back for what I had back then 

But it was as you pushed me away 

I saw it was to late to be saved today
