Silence is hidden,
inside of your eyes.
Lips full of answers
smothered with wise lies.
All truths are revealed
exposed by your eyes.
Back-peddling words
disclosed by surprise.
Awkward discomfort
expressed in your eyes.
No words are needed,
tears glue our demise.
Hopes have been ruined
as seen in your eyes,
you want one more win
yet despise the prize.
My unspoken words
scream loud in my eyes,
they say their farewells
with one breathless sigh.
Newfound intentions
live within my eyes.
Self-preservation
is my greatest tie.
Best wishes and love
shine from both our eyes,
mute words go unheard
our eyes say goodbye.
