The eyes

My cheeks betray me

They lie to everyone all the time

Why?

I've only had two glasses of wine

They turn a rosy color and stay awhile

"Awe that's so cute" **** that I wish they stop

I find it quite vile

Either my cheeks or my eyes betray me nonstop

I don't like being able to be read so easily

There is more to me than what you see

My eyes betray me, if you look real close

Screaming about what really is

Thankfully most seem to miss this

But ever I would fall in love

those eyes will be my downfall

Yelling about my true feelings

Not being able to hide

I fear for that day

That my own eyes condemn me
