Death Of Compassion

Someone is crying now
The tears are falling
Cascading down
In crystal rivers of pain
Someone is crying now
Because of you

She held her hand out
Didn’t ask for much
Just a friendly nod
Wasn’t asking for help
She held her hand out
To you

Her face shows the tears
Their tracks edged sharp
Like knife wounds
Cut with such pain
Her face shows the tears
Because of you

What did she do wrong?
Does she deserve this?
Such anguish here
In her heart in her eyes
What did she do wrong?
To you

They say words don’t kill
They can’t really harm
They have no power
No way of cutting a soul
They say words can’t kill
They do

Her life is different. Yes
Did she ever harm you?
Were her ways so bad?
Why what did she do?
Her life is different. Yes
From you

Someone is crying now
The tears are falling
Cascading down
In crystal rivers of pain
Someone is crying now
Because of you

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Marsha, this is so so sad, my heart goes out to all these people who afflict such lack of sympathy to one another in tears; this is so sad but beautiful! (sad sigh) I pray that they all can learn from one another and be able to understand compassion and then share tears and love to help each other in need of comfort. (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is so sad but beautiful! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Mushy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

and I'm thirsty any way
so bring on the rain
