Hypocrite
By: Noah Eaton
1/6/02

You examine my anatomy
Measure my toxicity
Study my tolerance for pain
Research my praxiology
Even when you know I have hyperesthesia

Make me cry, improvise a scheme
Make a move I can't defend
You sacrifice your ears for extra eyes
Think I'm prattling, well think again
I know well that you're listening

But I couldn't help falling for you
I thought that your love was telling the truth
Objection I'd say if I knew I was fooled
But you sustained and overruled
You hunted me down like Hera
Petrified me with your eyes of Medusa
I loved you for who you were
But now you've changed
Please stay away...

All the sentiments you made are ovicidal
But you know the verdict is inevitable
Keep spinning everything like a ferris wheel
But soon you'll know how it feels
When the big top falls

But I couldn't help falling for you
I thought that your love was telling the truth
Objection I'd say if I knew I was fooled
But you sustained and overruled
You hunted me down like Hera
Petrified me with your eyes of Medusa
I loved you for who you were
But now you've changed
Please stay away...

The minute when you first deeply touched me
I thought we were meant to be
But I'm just a fool...

Interrogated
Devastated
Retrograded
Agitated
Is what you've left me feeling
In the obituary where I'm digging
I truly wish you the best
I truly hope you find what you desire
But can you taste the pain
Can you taste it?

I couldn't help falling for you
I thought that your love was telling the truth
Objection I'd say if I knew I was fooled
But you sustained and overruled
You hunted me down like Hera
Petrified me with your eyes of Medusa
I loved you for who you were
But now you've changed
Please stay away...

I did the best I could for you
I was willing to share everything with you
But I will not be taken as a subaltern
I won't be taken under-the-counter
So stay away...
Stay away...

Noah,  my friend this is a very well written
but sad poem...and my heart tells me it is
your sadness....  I hope not,  but I will
say this...  you will feel love again,  you
will love again...you love right now...

And you, like all the rest of us,  even as
we cry...will live through the pain...and
a smile will return to your face,  just as
it did our own...

Missed seeing you here!!!

Oh dear oh dear, the pain of love can hit real hard. We've all been there, but I'm sure that knowledge isn't comforting you right now.

Will a Dutch knuffel help

I'm so sorry Noah, come here and I will hug you.

Noah sorry you're feeling this way but at the same time I must say this, at least in my eyes, is the best thing you've ever written. Raw, honest and heartfelt. Life isn't always roses but the words we write sometimes get us through

Intense, Noah. Maybe if you can step back away from this for a short time you'll find a positive lesson in the experience, in spite of all the pain. I think you should go get that big knuffel hug from Titia. Or maybe come downtown to the LoDo Tattered Cover bookstore and cruise the stacks, bump elbows with hundreds of other warm sentient beings?

Noah darling boy, there is within your soul a place of such sweetness and light that I know you will rise again. You’ve written this pain so well darling heart I only hope that the sun doesn’t stay hidden too long for you.

Wonderful writing darling heart absolutely wonderful, hugs and warm smiles to you


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire

Dear Noah,

I don't think there is one among us who hasn't felt this way before.  It's like getting punched below the belt, but it's important that we don't let our pain turn us into a bitter person.  You will be loved someday, believe in it!  

Hugs good poet!!

if it didnt hurt so bad, you wouldnt have written this so  good,
heres some straight advice: stay off the internet for love.............i think sometimes our romantic nature forces us to paint people into who we want/think them to be.......until you look into someones eyes,realtime, its all just lightweight puppy love,
youre a great guy, kind of cute, though i prefer darker men, but youll be fine in time

Noah...Sad my friend. Just give your heart ample time to heal and things will be better.

For each feeling of hurt and pain in your heart now shall be replaced with joy and happiness again.

For each tear of sorrow that falls now shall be replaced by tears of joy soon.

For each sad poem you write may you write a thousand poems of your true happy self that we all love and care about.

For each road that has ended there will be a guardian angel near to guide you down a bright new path.

Paul

Priceless, Noah. A very emotional, touching piece, with the feeling of a song. I hope this is in the past, for you, something to learn from, not a scar still healing.
