My Brown Eyes:


They betray me.



The dam guarding my reservoir of tears crumbles far too often.



They look for things I'm trying not to see

and stare too long when I want to look away.



They expose my heart when I put up a façade -

Flash fear when I'm trying to be strong

and let escape a shimmer of amusement when I should be reproachful.



They are truth-tellers in a world where I need to lie.





That's why I should always wear sunglasses.
