Billy

Hearing your name once made me swoon
Looking in you eyes gave me a rush
You opened your heart with plenty room
Clinging to me with your needy touch

Billy

Don't you see it all happened too soon?
Emotions that took over went flying
As fast as the emerging of the moon
Then I left you in darkness crying

Billy

I don't know what to say
Except that I saw it coming
You rushed me to feel the same way
Which resulted in me running

Billy

After your tears came your rage
As if it would win me back
Dramatizing like an actor on stage
but I don't need a man like that

Billy

I'm worthless, you said it
So why do you want me so bad?
I'll give you no more credit
For mistreating the best you ever had

Billy

You claim you always get hurt
but let me tell you why
No one likes to be treated like dirt
Therefore no second chance for you and I

For your sake I'll say a prayer
Hoping you'll say one on your own
You think I'm ruthless but I care
Let God in and you'll never be alone

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Joanna, I hope this isn't related to a recent emotion, this is so sad and filled with grief and frustration! (sad sigh) You are a very loving friend and person, and we all love you so much, and you always deserve the greatest love and compassion! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Joanna, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

*sigh* so much feeling is in this poem. My heart goes out to you that it had to end but I can feel in your words that it was the right thing to do. Very well done. **hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.
