Eyes Are The Windows To The Soul Poem by Jonathan Lehman

They say eyes are the windows to the soul,
Hiding behind a facade taking its toll.
Saying you're fine when you're anything but,
In your mind, chaos beginning to strut,
Behind a smile so bright,
Masking the hurt that runs deep inside,
Though laughter dances on your lips so free,
Your eyes betray the tears that silently weep.
I long to take your hand and clear the haze,
To soothe the sorrow stretched along your face,
But for now, I watch from afar,
As love and pain collide in this dark space.
