Loving You

Loving You 

By John M Lennon

The secret vow I vowed to you, 

Be the man you never knew. 

So come day or night, 

I will always be there to hold you tight. 

Dreams of what our life could be like if I held you for the rest of my life. 

No more cold restless nights, 

As it’s our warmth that would comfort our dreams as we held each other tight. 

With laughter and play snuggling in the morning as we lay. 

And when days became night, 

Words we hung onto trying to stay awake,

Fighting the weight of our eye lids so just one more could be said.

And once again in the morning light, 

I’m still holding you tight.

Living now what I know is the perfect life,

Fulfilling the vow I vowed to you, 

And all it has taken is loving you. 

Tear Soaked

Tear Soaked

By John M Lennon 

Capturing each tear as I cried. 

This paper has all the words I wish I could say. 

So as I try and wring them out, it's every word that screams and shouts. 

Not meant to push you away. 

Its just every word these tear soaked pages had to say. 

As We Lie

As We Lie

By John M Lennon

Loyalty and truth

A beauty that resides in you 

Words to confess, wishes to come true 

Every thought begins and ends with you 

Wishing for another moment next to you 

This way I might be able to speak these words 

But tongue twisted and tied 

The pounding of my heart is the only sounds as we lie 

Captivating

Captivating

By John M Lennon 

What words could I say, to brighten your day 

What if I told you all the ways you made me smile today 

So with every ring of my phone I’m hoping it's you 

Thinking about every moment that could be 

Wishing for more and I can't wait to see

Every pondering thought ends with what could this be 

As I sit here I see you have truly captivated me

Another Round

Another Round 

By John M Lennon

Harsh moments of truths

Words I once whispered to you 

Setting out to find my truth 

The emotional roller coaster I use to be

You standing there, the only road block I could see  

Now shut down and cold, the only thing you will ever know 

So as my words slow down

True peace has nothing to be found  

Pictures with smile are an every day act

As it is my heart that forever wears a frown 

Tip toeing through, not making a sound 

As this cold heart is to fragile for another round 

Still Here

Still Here 

By John M Lennon

A memory that can never be erased 

Love that will forever be embraced  

Etched into my heart 

Sown deep into the fabric of my loins 

It’s as I think about you with each word I speak 

Memories that still remind me of the man I use to be 

Childhood memories for us all to laugh at 

But without you how can I really relive the past 

Counting the days is far easier than my tears 

Each one hurting the same… 

As it is without you I am still here…. 

Forgiveness

Forgiveness

By John M Lennon 

The stature to stand strong

But it was you I was leaning on

To buckle when you fold

Now in this place I don’t know 

As I don’t have you their anymore 

To back me like you did before

So it’s inside I have reached 

Seeing the shallow depths of my peaks 

Trying to build a better man 

It’s on my own two legs I must stand 

Breaking my back is my only plan 

Living this life with no gains 

Reliving all of my pain 

Slashing at my weak tonight I finally fall asleep 

One last breath with you I wish I could breathe 

As it would be for forgiveness I would beg and plead 

Embraced

Embraced 

By John M Lennon

An infectious smile to brighten our days,

with courage more ways than words can say.

Parting with a piece of loved ones hearts,

memories to pave the road through the dark.

Sad to say goodbye, praying for you with each tear I cry,

in your Fathers arms you are embraced tonight.

Feeling the power of his love as you watch us from above.

Leaving Today

Leaving Today

By John M Lennon

At an arms reach 

So I don’t get cut too deep 

But ending it this way 

With the right words to push you away

Because it's from this new darkness I speak 

And this new weakness in you I seek...

Better off dead or on my own

Seeing I will always stand alone

Remembering why I am this way

So as this light fades away  

This is the distance at which I stay

Because I will always push everyone away 

Knowing that’s what keeps me alive today

But then here I am forever walking away

And I'm not leaving with one word left to say

Taken Away

Taken Away 

By John M Lennon

One thousand daggers deep 

Every glance your way, another breath of mine you have taken away 

So as I hold you tight my dreams come to life 

You are more than the dream girl for which I asked

It's with you I want to share my every smile and laugh

No more questions of why just pictures of you when I close my eyes

So as I say it today you are the girl that has taken away every breath I held tight

Every word I was scared to say

Every dream I thought had been taken away 

As it is for you I fell today and will love for the rest of my days 

My New War

My New War

By John M Lennon 

As all is fair in love and war 

You are the one I have a peace offering for

To take away the pain of yesterday 

Unchanging the person you are today

A promise to make you cry less and smile more 

You will be the only woman I adore 

All in this love of life I have fought for 

You have become the one for which it was all meant for 

Mirrored Images

Mirrored Images

By John M Lennon 

Shards of glass 

Broken reflections of my passed 

Every step slicing deep 

Remembering each word as we use to speak

No you and I in this life of love 

Just a brief moment that we were thought of 

Each painful step through broken reflections of what I thought I knew  

One more that gets me past 

The love I thought would forever last 

Loving Me Again

Loving Me Again 

By John M Lennon 

A life once built on lies 

No one seeing the tears I've cried 

Today's another yesterday gone by,

If I look at my life through your eyes 

But with a fire deep within 

Forging the steel of my skin

I have started to love me again 

No actions can take that away 

I have learned too many games along the way 

And today is about me anyways 

Image Of A Man

Image Of A Man 

By John M Lennon 

Wash away all that you can it is still in the stains of blood that you stand

Alone he set and cried 

The pooling of the fear was never seen, as he kept it all inside

Each tear was one more drop into the sea he was trying to navigate 

Under the cover of a wicked smile, he lied

As a man no one could see him

Pooling until it was finally in this pain he cried 

Tears forming as blood in his hands 

Showing how much he could take was never part of the plan 

Now all but lost because the image of a man 

Darkness I Fight

Darkness I Fight 

By John M Lennon

The words I write 

Challenging my mind as I fight 

But here they unite 

As its pen to pad in this darkness I fight 

Seeing the rhythm to the rhyme 

Each word wrote as it is my time to shine 

Out smarted only by the confidence I lack

But here I am fighting right back 

Walking Away

Walking Away 

By John M Lennon

Heart broken, still in love 

Left with no one to hug 

This is now the story from which I wish to unplug 

Heart filled with pain 

My tear's pouring like rain 

Soaking the pages written each day 

Burning of the words you left me with that day 

Now only trying to look the other way 

All but lost, when I fell for you that day 

Now the only thought is you slowly walking away

Lost Fight

Lost Fight

By John M Lennon 

Letting go 

Blow for blow 

How much further can I go 

Darkest just before the dawn 

Twenty third hour is what I'm working on  

The Suns warmth, A comfort in my life

Needing just that flicker of light

Wanting to be alright

Seeing the end to this dark night

Slashing at the pain 

I feel a new warmth that stains 

The light becomes so bright 

Seeing what I have done to my own life 

Leaving with… 

One, lost fight 

His Road

His Road 

By John M Lennon 

A long drive 

A whisper as the wind whips by 

The cross roads of my heart 

Every mile and memory 

The curves of the road up ahead 

Chasing the sight of you in the high beams 

Singing the songs I sang to you till the end 

So as the tires roar on the road and the rain falls 

Its like the crying of my heart after letting go 

Now all I can do is chase 

Hoping to find the answer to all this pain 

But a million miles I have drove 

With the answers still eluding me on which way to go 

It's the steering wheel I let go 

Letting the Lord take me down his road 

Our Story

Our Story 

By John M Lennon

Rags to riches as this lust to love story begins 

Looking at you, wanting more then just friends 

Knowing where each other had been 

Starting out slow this, love would soon grow 

Uncontrollable at times 

Lost in the blinding speed that is life 

Loosing sight of what was the reality of our time 

Each moment leading to the next

Caught in a whirlwind that has made our live's a mess 

With nothing more left to show, then this paper filled with the pain of letting go 

You read this aday too late 

And it's from every second this moment will take

I Am

I Am

By John M Lennon

Contemplating the life I live

Questioning not only what, but who I am

Lost in the dismay

Looking for an out, only knowing one way

Shutting my eyes, looking the other way

Losing the fight… no strength to carry on for even one more day

This is my goodbye

I gave it all

Now I’m just walking away
