Johnny

Johnny
i know its hard
always holding up your guard
Johnny
when you fall ever so slowly
i see your life slip lowly
Johnny
do you know its okay to talk
i can see it in the way you walk
Johnny 
you are holding something back
with the way you move, the way you act
Johnny
was i too late 
for my weakness i hope you do not hate
Johnny
how i wish i could help 
when i heard your faint yelp
Johnny 
this is my goodbye
with love and a tear from my eye
