Just Behind the Eyes

I count my joys and grief
In one set
My prayers flew not beneath
Your hand not to let.
As if to balance the scales.

Sorrows not so melancholy 
I ponder at some desires 
All no part of some folly
Sinking below beauty's mires
As if to even it out. 

What sickness doth lie
Just behind the eye.
