Ive been thinking--
and theres
something
I just cant shake off
its your eyes
they give you away
and its your very own smile
that they betray
They carry in them
a cry
in almost every
picture of you I see
Your smile is genuine
but your eyes dont agree
.. and you have no
idea what it is doing to me
I picture your life
happy
with a fullness
of its own
So why do my eyes
well up with tears
when I look into those
beautiful spheres of yours?
Im not such a fool
to think its about me
but the pull I feel to
hold you close--
why cant I let that go?
For your sake I try
to keep it all to myself, now
as I glance up and
smile at you--
truth-hidden behind
cheap sunglasses
