Eyes Poem by Carla Nestoros

It happened when it happened
After and before you appeared
You seem to not believe my lies
Exactly what I’ve feared

You seem to be able to look at me
Can you see inside my soul?
It hurts to know I’m misleading
When I lose my words control

I’m forever telling you otherwise
But you need to be reassured once more
What’s behind your questions?
Where’s your heart been before?

You play on all the innocence
Make me feel like I’m who’s wrong
But I was a victim to flattery
Men’s power can be so strong

What’s behind the way you act?
What else could it be?
If you want guilt, look elsewhere
Perhaps yourself? Not me.
