Piercing Eyes

by Cuddles   May 3, 2006


It's hard to avoid the piercing stare
of eyes that see right through me,
of eyes that see under the darkness
a hidden layer of beauty.

I know that I'm an open book,
but my feelings I don't show.
You see through my guarded disguise,
and you're not afraid to tell me so.

I find it a little unnerving
that you succeed where others fail
to hear the truth behind my lies,
my deepest secret revealed.

I never told you I loved him,
but you knew that it was true.
Naturally, though, I denied it.
We're friends-it's what I do.

For Luke

    Oh wow, this one is as great as the other one. I loved the theme of this poem of yours, a unique one. Yes, I know exactly what you mean. I also had a friend like that who I still adore very much. Excellent piece once again.

    Love
