Eyes

Submitted by SRPiNk33 on January 9, 2008 - 08:54.

I smile as I fall,
Fall into your icy blue eyes.
But your eyes,
They trouble me,
They confuse me so.
They've been telling me the truth all along,
Which doesn't meet your words.

So what am I to believe?
Your jumble of lies I've mistaken
For the truth which lies just skin deep?

I'm lost,
Ever so lost in thought.
Are you honest with me?
You're not.
Do I trust you?
I'm not so sure I do.
Do you even care?
It's hard to say anymore.
Do you really love me?
I question it myself.
If you say so,
Will you mean it?

So what am I to believe?
Your jumble of lies I've mistaken
For the truth which lies just skin deep?

Your eyes,
They'll tell me the truth.

I thought the poem was also

I thought the poem was also lovely and sad. It seemed to express a lot of pent up feelings. I liked the way you flipped back and forth between question and answer. I also like the way you concluded the poem, by bringing back in the eyes. It's a common method that writers use to create a full circle in a story and you use the technique excellently. Great job.
