My Lyin' Eyes

I blinked My eyes lying to each other “did you…” “no, don’t” “yeah…but I” “stop blinking and shut it” “but that image” “shake it off” I blinked again a tear in one eye. John G. Lawless ©7/25/2022

That's quite a conversation. Some things we see makes us sad, and the vision is imprinted in our mind as a recurring thought. You did justice to their conversation by using proper quotation marks. Good work, John.
