these eyes hide
everything from you
you can't see the worry
in the depths
you don't see the pain
hidden behind
I can't show it
it wouldn't be right
the windows of my soul
are closed to the light
the light has disappeared
to a far off place
I close my eyes
hoping to find release
this smile hides
a mix of emotion
I can't speak the words
I need to get out
they are stuck inside
like barbs hurting
the line is straight
not curved
and if it is curved
how do I know it is real?
I fake it for me too
a line causes too many questions
too many that I don't have answers too
