I gaze into people's eyes, <br />And see their hidden despises, <br />And spurn them for <br />Whatever they've done to me. <br /> <br />Not seeing or hearing their laughter, <br />They laugh without smiling after, <br />I see no sense in reaching out, <br />To hear their calling voices. <br /> <br />I see his arms held out to me, <br />To give Shelter like a great big tree, <br />But there's something hidden behiind his face, <br />And I do not want to go closer. <br /> <br />Oh I knew those things before, <br />They were called love which came after war, <br />But now there is only war all over, <br />I don't think there is time for love.<br /><br />Vera Sidhwa<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/something-hidden-2/
