The Eyes Never Lie
the mouth spins webs
of lies and deceit
that catch you, ensnare you
in it's merciless grip
the face puts up
a convincing facade
it feigns a heartfelt smile
or hides the crushing sorrow
a person entreats you
becomes your friend
then strikes you down
and leaves you for dead
and how would I
detect the lie?
I must watch the eyes
the eyes never lie
