Tales in the eyes (I of VI)
Updated: Jan 8, 2021
Tales in the eyes I
Starry nights.
Starry nights.
That's what I see in your eyes.
They never lie.
When we meet each other,
I gaze into those eyes
Because they tell me the truth.
You're not a liar. I know that much.
But you're a hider. Most of us are.
So I look deeply into your eyes,
Past the tears if there are any,
Past the smile that distracts,
Past the fear in my own heart
Into the
Starry nights.
That's what I see in your eyes.
