The heart weeps, <br />For itself; its bearer, <br />Giving vent to the feelings, <br />Of loss, despair, <br />And sadness unbearable, <br />But the face smiles, <br />The lips turned in an upward curve, <br />The words flow smoothly, <br />Revealing nothing, <br />Masking the sorrow, <br />The hurt inside, <br />But the eyes tell the truth, <br />Revealing all, <br />The secrets, <br />The burning truths, <br />The agonizing details, <br />The eyes are empty, <br />As if dead; gazing, <br />Somewhere far away, <br />In a different world, <br />Where the heart weeps, <br />And the soul writhes in agony, <br />The eyes see it all, <br />And give away the secrets, <br />Of the hurt inside, <br />The windows of the soul, <br />They are pale; no more alive, <br />They have lost all their shine.<br /><br />Mehreen Tahir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-eyes-say-it-all/
