There was a coldness in her eyes, <br />though all her words were flowing freely. <br />'I love you so and never will <br />abandon you or let you go.' <br />But eyes don't lie <br />and even closed <br />will tell the sad <br />and redneck truth <br />you always know. <br />One hundred words <br />one thousand roses <br />did not persuade <br />did not arrive <br />within the yard <br />of my own soul. <br />Your eyes <br />did tell, <br />though quite unseen, <br />the goddamn truth <br />it was the end <br />for you <br />as well <br />as -damn- for me.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-eyes-have-it/
