When The Truth Comes Out
By: Noah Eaton
4/14/04

You held my heart in your hands,
you said you'd give it a home.
For a second I close my eyes,
where did you go?
You should never make promises you can't keep,
why did you have to renege?
Your temper me like a lion tamer would do,
but love don't belong on a leash

I never agreed to let the sleeping does lie,
it's only a matter of time till you realize,
every hard-boiled egg is yellow inside...

Did you think I was going,
to let you take advantage of me this time?
Did you think I'd accept,
being dog-eared in your history, only to die...
When the truth comes out,
what will you think,
when the truth comes out,
what will you say?
Will you throw it all away?

Honestly, you kind of hurt my feelings,
and I'm feeling upset,
Blind, deaf, clumsy, improvident,
is all you are to me now in my head.
After everything I've done for you,
the least you can do is reply,
you expected me to be your myrmidon,
when all I wanted was to be by your side...

Did you think I was going,
to let you take advantage of me this time?
Did you think I'd accept,
being dog-eared in your history, only to die...
When the truth comes out,
what will you think,
when the truth comes out,
what will you say?
Will you throw it all away?

I'd rather be a widow of a hero,
than be the wife of a coward,
this break of silence is deafening,
you can't give me one simple answer...

DID YOU THINK I WAS GOING,
TO LET YOU TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ME THIS TIME?
Did you think I'd accept,
being dog-eared in your history, only to die...
When the truth comes out,
what will you think,
when the truth comes out,
what will you say?
Will you throw it all away?


"You'll find something that's enough to keep you
But if the bright lights don't receive you
You should turn yourself around and come back home" MB20

Your posts have been coming too far apart for my liking, dear Noah! Whenever I read a poem of  yours, or the lyrics of one of your songs, I know that I am in for a real ride!

This one hurts, however. I hope this is just you being creative and is not based on your true personal experience. The road to love can be filled with land mines, but with experience we begin to see the danger signs and are able to side-step the bombs!

I had popped into your journal a few days ago and was blown away (poor pun) by your recent entries!

Hope all is well with you! June is fast approaching!

Loves 'n hugs,
Your friend,
Linda

Oh, Noah -- hope you are okay.  This was so sad; and I felt some anger in it, too.
