BEHIND THOSE EYES

BEHIND THOSE EYES


Behind those eyes that are deep,
There lurks an evil mind
That knows only selfishness
And, to reason, is blind.

Poison flows out of those eyes,
They have a captive trance.
When they spot a victim they
Tantalizingly dance.

God save the victim, treated
To their love and caress.
He is blinded to the loss
Of all he did possess.

When he has nothing to give,
He’s simply discarded.
But before throwing, attempts
To return are thwarted.

Woe to such beauties that are
A curse to beauty’s name.
The whole of the fair sex they
Do verily defame.
