Mistletoe Tears
By: Noah Eaton
12/11/01

I’ve been battered
I’ve been abused
I’ve been broken
I’ve been used
How can I cope?
This time around
It’s been too few years
Since I could ever sleep sound

I cry in bed alone
No one is home
I am just
A lonely strand of mistletoe

But I am all alone
I’m trapped in yearning
Where are you Christmas?
Have you forgotten me?

Deep in my heart
I’m lost and hollow
Could you spare
Another tomorrow?
I feel helpless
And you don’t care
I’m just a broken boy
Paralyzed and taken for granted

I just want to be loved
With all my friends
I just want to spread my love
Now I feel I should never open my mouth again

I just want to be here
But I feel lonely and I’m cold
I guess I’m just
A lonely strand of mistletoe

I’m all alone
I’m trapped in yearning
Where are you Christmas?
Have you forgotten me?

Bury me
Before I cry once more
I can’t bear
To just break more hearts I wore
I just want to find
The better part of me
Is there any at all?
Or am I drowning?

I’m all alone
I’m trapped in yearning
Where are you Christmas?
Have you forgotten me?
Where are you Christmas…
Where are you Christmas…
Have you forgotten me…

The true spirit of Christmas is love in hearts of gold.
You seem to have one of purest gold.
Never allow anything to rob you of this treasure you hold.
Your kind words often touch my heart.

Hugs,

Mistletoe,
Just open your eyes and you'll see the tree
And the gifts just beyond the ennui.
Have a Merry.

you know love is the strangest thing
if you go hunting for it
it hides
and if you dont
it finds you
in time
it finds you

Noah, take that negative energy and light a candle.   Then warm yourself with the knowledge that others see us a whole lot differently than we do ourselves.

Noah,
My heart goes out to you, my dear sweet friend. I know it may not seem like comfort, but you have survived all of these things to be given a love that you deserve and to give a love that you have.You are the most giving person I know and I know that you will be happy one day.Lean on me and rest your head, lay your troubles on me instead.I love you friend for all of time.
Come place your hand with mine.For I am here to see you through.And hope to take away your
blues.

Noah that one line..I am a lonely strand of mistletoe..Wow. I have heard it said many ways, but that was perfect. Christmas can feel so lonely, when the one you love is not by your side.
Smile, sweet one.

You know Noah, the troubles we go through in life do indeed make us stronger, better people. I hope one day you will wake up and realize that. You're a good person with a great heart. But always remember to love yourself first...only when we love ourselves, can we then truly love another and be loved back. Hugs to you Noah
