Johan


I leave my house At the break of dawn Under the lightless sun To walk down the dark Enclosed and forgotten alleys On the outskirts of town; As I walk down the alley I seem to notice an unforgotten soul In the form of a shadow Running and dancing Along the walls At the same pace as my feet; The shadow, troubling my Thoughts even more then before Makes it harder for me to Clear my mind of thoughts of Johan; By the end of the alley my thoughts Are still there Almost impossible to be erased From my mind; And the kids just think she is on a Long term vacation. But she is really up there in the lifeless sky That seems to do nothing But actually plays a big role In our lives; Though she has been erased from the earth I cannot forget about Johan; I just hope by the time I float up there she still Remembers me enough to be glad when I arrive.
