Telling Eyes

By Jeanmardn   

Your eyes tell me stories as your words contradict them

I am listening with a desire to truly hear you

The same desire your eyes reflect as you speak your words

Flowing from your lips like memorization of a script

But all I can hear are the beautiful messages in your eyes

The ones screaming loudly as your words softly flow

You only pause when speaking to smile here and there

See, that’s the only time I truly hear you

When you stop speaking and smile

Your eyes smile too

There I can hear truth

There I can see you
