(This is an aggressive rocker I wrote and recorded over the week, which is related to a childhood experience of mine when my cousin, who I've bonded with since I was six, was abused by his father, and the vision still so haunting and I put it to song, which people who heard it said they cried hearing the way I sung it!  )Don't Come Crying To Me By: Noah Eaton 7/6/03 Stay away from me Just stay away from me All you've given me is sour milk And you've made me scared Of almost everything I've got some of your blood But I've bled all of that blood I don't want to reincarnate I just want to rid myself Of everything you transmitted onto me If I could run away Without having to look back over my shoulder... . . Don't come crying to me... . . Don't come crying to me... . . DON'T COME CRYING TO ME... . . . Because I don't have time to justify anything to you It doesn't matter if you're speaking a fallible or the truth Just remember Everything you took for granted And realize how you've scarred me... I can't forget a single thing Can't recycle a single memory Those still frames are petrifying And I can't dissolve them Simply because I'm too weak When you had me lose faith When I took you as my hero I depended on you day and night On and on and on... . . Don't come crying to me... . . Don't come crying to me... . . DON'T COME CRYING TO ME... . . . Because I don't have time to justify anything to you It doesn't matter if you're speaking a fallible or the truth Just remember Everything you took for granted And realize how you've scarred me... There's still one question that plagues me After all these days There's still one question That I demand answered "Why didn't you let anyone see me bleeding?" I'm only flesh and blood I'm only flesh and blood I'm only a bag of bones broken, shattered, shackled So why did you leave me crucified? Why did you leave me in the guillotine? Why did you leave me crawling? What were you trying to prove? What were you trying to prove? What were you trying to prove... Because I don't have time to justify anything to you It doesn't matter if you're speaking a fallible or the truth Just remember Everything you took for granted And realize how you've scarred me... Can you feel how you've scarred me Oh, how you've scarred me... Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story ***Shakira*** [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (07-06-2003 11:51 PM).] |

"Why didn't you let anyone see me bleeding?" I'm only flesh and blood Noah, A superb piece of writing. The lines above sent chills through me and tears streaming from my eyes. I think I shall not forget your words. Patricia |

Noah, You certainly put to words the terror and pain of this subject. Difficult to read, because the emotional content is so tragic. Well done my friend. TD |

Noah, I was so happy to see that you had posted and was excited to read your poem. Sweetie, you stopped me dead in my tracks with this one. A very tough issue and I'm sorry this tragedy happened to a member of your family. The wounds she received will heal, but never the scars. God bless you for writing this and making people aware and God love your cousin. Huggles and prayers to you both, Marti Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.

..."Those still frames are petrifying"... --how horrible the memories must be for your cousin. This was a gut-wrenching piece to read but if I heard your angelic voice singing these words, I would break down and sob my heart out. He is fortunate to have you in his life. God bless you both, Peace, Light, Healing & Love, Linda |

Noah, don't I understand well. You have a way with words and I'm sure the voice behind it. Great write though sad. Sauni Sauni:)The Only Time I See The Sun Is When I'm Within That Vanilla Breeze.The Only Time I'm One With The Sun Is When He Shelters Me From The Rain. L.S |
