Eyes Do Not Lie Poem by Daleen Enslinstrydom

Eyes do not lie they tell a story,
they tell the story of life
they are the windows to the soul
and there is no place to hide the broken pieces.

Your arms use too be my shelter,
the resting place of my weary soul
where I could hide when life failed me.

Your lips had smoothed away the sorrow lines,
with drops like honey nourished my emptiness
and I drank gladly from your cup.

I just looked in your blue eyes
to find my own reflection reflecting back at me,
to see myself in the way that I am revered in my true form.

Eyes do not lie and when tears do fall,
when words fall short.
I know that time does heal a broken heart
and that the pain will go away one day
