The Eyes And Lies
from the how terribly romantic series:
no eyes
all my life sewn shut
no lies
if I can't see the truth
visions of you
because your beauty could inspire a fool
and how would I know that
unless I lie
blind
under this guise
charm overrides guilt
for the way I felt about you
all these years hidden in my
self-imposed dark, because you
would just take thread and needle
to these undisciplined orbs
that want to linger on your beauty
just a little more
no sound
all these years motionless
unfound
in my uncomfortable hiding
truths of you
because your beauty inspired a fool
and how would I know about that
unless I speak
my words
unmasked
guilt overrides
shuns how I feel inside
for all the years mislead
in your sunny places
just take the thread
and sew my mouth shut --
just leave the eyes.
10.21.20
I let the truth be known
how I feel about myself
when I'm with you
