i'm leaving
he says
but when the world screams
i'll be back
and he left
just like that
i never really knew
exactly what he meant
but i couldn't keep him here
in my mind i tried to
maybe too hard
i don't think
i ever really knew him
the way he talked
and looked
he never told me much
about his life
about his past
he was trying to keep from me
he laughed when i asked
is something wrong?
he knew he couldn't keep me
for very much longer
and so he left
i could see it
in his eyes that he never
really wanted to
but what choice did he have?
i'm not really sure where he went
i'll probably never find out
she knows about him
she knows more than i do
and he probably went with her
to oregon or california
someplace far away
she soaks him in her fears
makes his pain go away
hush, hush she says
maybe that's why he left
she lets him be silent
i always want him to conquer his fears
maybe i pushed too hard
maybe he couldn't conquer his fears
they were too strong
but she can
she's the sun the moon
the stars and the sky to him
and he is small
he's just so small
so in the end he had to go
go be silent in his land of fears
because you know
silence speaks louder than words
but, silence doesn't speak
oh no, it doesn't speak
it screams

life may just take a while but i guess heaven's worth the wait

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Abby, I think I can understand what you are saying here, sweet friend, when one is silent and there is no words we should be able to respect the silence for it speaks so very strongly and to infiltrate it is so disintegrating! (sigh) This is powerful, sweet friend, my thoughts go out to you, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Abby, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
