You’re wearing clothes I’ve never seen before Hide your phone when I walk through the door Furtive conversation’s I’m not meant to hear Text’s are received but these you soon clear You smile with your mouth, but your eyes are cold Cos it’s him that you want, not me you want to hold I’m sick and tired of your stupid lies It’s in your eyes; it’s in your eyes Your lyin you can’t disguise It’s in your eyes; it’s in your eyes Listen up honey to these words I say I’ve packed my bags I’m going away You don’t love me no more Of that I’m sure, Yes I’m sure, oh so sure So I’m walking out the door Then you can’t hurt me no more Any poem written in June NOT for a Contest Sponsored by Laura Loo 06~01~17

Hi Jan, this is an excellent work. Straight off, the words do sing. Yes i could certainly hear these words sung to a soft country beat. It's just the way it runs off my tongue, or it could be i was listening to some country recently. The truth always lies in the eyes Jan. From start to end this poem has such an easy flow, or so it seems to me. Your words sing out on this subject. I feel the emotion within the write. Your poetry keeps on growing Jan. This has to be a fave. Hugs....Mike. XX

Thanks Ilene:-) I never know where my muse will take me and I originally wrote this from the female perspective but when I read it to my hubby he suggested I changed it a man's perspective instead:-) hugs jan xx

Good Morning Jan. You are you hear you roar. This is marvelous and solid. I can hear a melody to this. How grand is that. Very. PS: its always in the eyes. Well done in its entirety. Have a wonderful day Jan.

Thanks Lisa for the lovely comment:-) I agree it's always in the eyes but also there are other clues that can give so much away, especially silence or trying to hide the phone when the other person walks in the room:-( hugs Jan xx

As I read I felt a melody in your words so I had to scroll up and see if you listed this as 'Lyric". You did and it I so appropriate. Nicely done Jan

Thank Chris I am delighted you felt it had a lyrical feel:-) Such sad words but unfortunately I read of relationships breaking down and the technology plays a big part in the deception:-( hugs Jan xx
