I Wish I Couldn't Read Their Eyes

by Good Enough   Jul 9, 2009


I can't look into someones eyes
Without seeing how they really feel
I see their pain, their frustration
Just by glancing into their eyes

I can see the monster roaming freely
Just by looking into the black nothingness
That your try to hide from the world
I can sometimes see what your thinking

This power is overwhelming, somehow
Knowing how badly you hurt inside
And acknowledging you might be done tomorrow
Cause I can see the presence of death

Their eyes are open barriers to the truth
And you don't even know I'm reading it
Their eyes are like seven deadly sins
Spread across the vast seas

Your so very special, I wish i was special
You think your thoughts are secrets
But with your eyes wide open
Nothing is safe in your mind

I know the truth
And it scares me

    Great poem
    i really liked it
    the last two lines were classic...
    "I know the truth
    and it scares me"
    but the whole poem was great
    my other favourite part was the deadly signs
    and the vast sea part
    good job
    and thx for the comment :)

    Nice write.. loved the title... its beautiful.. very dark and creepy write...
    just a suggestion - try removing number of I's you have used :) it would sound even better :)

    This poem is simply amazing! i must say this is one of the poems that proves not all poems have to rhyme to have flow. the structure was great and the message was extremely clear definitely a 5/5 keep it up

    I love it.. definatly looking into someones eyes will tell a whole different story then what they put out there. Someones eyes tell so much.. sometimes we can look into a persons eyes and feel exactly what they are feeling. In this case, it scares you because you think they will do something bad. Unique way of using the lyric.. not exactly what I was expecting.. well done.
