Eyes are the Windows to the Soul

They say eyes are the windows to the soul, 
Hiding behind a facade taking its toll.
Saying you're fine when you're anything but, 
In your mind, chaos beginning to strut, 
Behind a smile so bright, 
Masking the hurt that runs deep inside, 
Though laughter dances on your lips so free, 
Your eyes betray the tears that silently weep.
I long to take your hand and clear the haze, 
To soothe the sorrow stretched along your face, 
But for now, I watch from afar, 
As love and pain collide in this dark space.
