Johnny's Goodbye
I went to the hospital looking for a friend
Little did I know he would soon be dead.
I saw Two-bit standing next to me
I saw his dark eyes; they said 'leave him be.'
We went in the hospital looking for the nurse
We asked her to see him preparing for the worst.
Johnny was a good boy; he was a hero,
But since he was a greaser he was treated like
a zero.
There he laid asleep in the bed, looking so meek
I cried, and cried. Tears flew down my face like a
trickling creek.
I heard a grunt and looked up; I saw his black
eyes.
I also knew there was a shattered soul that lied
deep inside.
"Johnny," I said quietly so my voice wouldn't crack.
He trembled "Ponyboy ……… I'm dying." I almost
broke down cause of the courage I lacked.
His last words to me were, "Stay gold, Ponyboy, stay gold."
I looked down; his hands were white and cold.
I sat there silently in shock.
It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
I was there in silence I thought I was going to hurl,
But hey at least he's out of this cruel world.
