Behind Your Eyes

by Hilary
(Maybrook, NY, US)

Before your green lit eyes,
Directly at your feet,
There stand tremendous lies
Waiting for you to greet.
You turn away blind,
Making it easier to hide
The deceit from behind,
True feelings inside.
Free to have what I've wanted;
It is out of your hands.
No longer daunted
With your loveless demands.
Before me are blue lit eyes
Doing what my conscience denies.
