Another Lonely Summer By: Noah Eaton 8/3/02 When some buds of lilies are too late to bloom And the pond is reflecting the silence of a powder moon I can feel the tears and regrets from a boon Warning me of another lonely summer I stand beneath the marquee on 38th Street Down where a demolished amusement park weeps Reminding me of the lost causes of being a kid happily Losing a balloon of another lonely summer Some days I can't please myself Some days just want to make me cry Some days end with no semicolon Some days seem to die Over and over again... One thing that somehow makes me smile Is the sight of someone holding anothers hand for a while Yet I wish I could have my Joanna here and see her smile While I'm living another lonely summer I have no friends I could talk to, I'm just ignored I can go outside but there's a huge world I can't explore When your sisters are growing up so fast and hanging out while stuck in a boys dream for that something more Brings out the worst in another lonely summer... Some days I can't please myself Some days just want to make me cry Some days end with no semicolon Some days seem to die Over and over again... I can smile I can laugh I can love myself the best I can I can run I can jump But then you choke when you feel so trapped... These are the days when people my age should be out I always make a valiant effort to fit in but they have their doubts I should be having a happy summer but I have nothing to share it with... Some days I can't please myself Some days just want to make me cry Some days end with no semicolon Some days seem to die Some days are meant to be forgotten Some days I wish I could anew Some days feel as cold as ice Some days seem to ache my heart Over and over again...  "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." Shakira [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (08-03-2002 02:03 PM).] |

This is beautiful though very sad. We all look for acceptance in life. Even when we get older we are still looking to fit in in this world. Hang in there sweet Noah, though overall acceptance may never come, you'll find your niche. |

Noah - you did write your feelings with this sad but beautiful write. Hang in there my friend, the day will come when you and Joanna will be together. By the way, I haven't noticed her posting. Is she OK? BC |

I know how you feel now that Liam is gone for the next 2weeks. Very good. Cold hands means a warm heart |
