They say that truth is found amongst the caverns in your heart But I? I am more akin to the eye. The crevice that gapes lets the light filter through When I look into your piercing pupil There is nowhere to hide And thus I can decipher whether the words you whisper, Are the truth, or lies. It is not just the iris itself which stands so bare Defenceless To the *********** of a man who searches for answers. The eyelashes, too, give away inklings And indications of what is to come. You blink and I sense hesitation, Refusing to let your eyes meet mine, A feeling seeps over me, I'm sensing a lie. But amongst all the uncertainty That the eyes do bring When you shoot down that one foolhardy look... Well, A man would go to hell and back just to get his fix. And suddenly there are no more doubts, just eyes.

Just Eyes
