Hiding Under The Covers
By: Noah Eaton
1/1/09

Learning to remember,
not to be frightened,
separate we come, separate we go,
and this is all we know.

I wear noble thoughts like badges,
stitched into my chest,
but tending to a blazing hearth,
seems like a waste when I’m alone.

Hiding under the covers,
waiting for someone to answer,
hiding under the covers,
hoping to hear an invitation.

People fulfill me,
and drain me all the same,
where I’m always left with something,
I’m eager to share that goes unsaid.

Because faces are just picture galleries,
crowds don’t make company,
but my self-possessiveness,
incites poverty in my head.

Hiding under the covers,
waiting for someone to answer,
hiding under the covers,
hoping to hear an invitation.
Hiding under the covers,
waiting for someone to answer,
hiding under the covers,
hoping to hear an invitation.

Regret for wasted time,
is more wasted time,
practicing muttering that to myself,
until I lose my breath.

Then I remember,
it has also been said,
when you can't figure out what to do,
it's time to go back to bed.

Hiding under the covers,
waiting for someone to answer,
hiding under the covers,
hoping to hear an invitation.
Hiding under the covers,
waiting for someone to answer,
hiding under the covers,
hoping to hear an invitation.

Nice work Noah!
I loved these lines...
"Regret for wasted time,
is more wasted time,"

Too true.

Sweet sweet Noah how have you been my good friend?

Your poetry always sounds so lyrical, are these poems/songs that you are writing, and do you play an instrument?

Wonderful write as always!

May this new year be a joyful one for you, my hide 'n seek friend!

Giving you a big, warm hug 'n a smiley face!
