Eyes

Anna Martin-Hill

Laughter and jokes amidst You and your friends laugh along I laugh too But in your eye Just for a second A glimmer of despair

You, the happiest around Even when saying the most horrifying things Never was there a time I saw you frown

But the eyes The windows to the souls Able to show the deepest of secrets and lies Your friends couldn’t pick up on this simple fact But I did

If you don’t tell me, I’ll prod more If you push me away, I’ll fight back Even if you try hard, You will never stop my determination I will help you
