The Lies Behind my Eyes

If you care to look behind my eyes

What you will find is one who’s wise

Thoughts, words, actions that mesmerize

They may change your lives

But if you don’t look past my guise

All you’ll see are lies

My open heart being eaten by flies

Leaving me to die

And everyone wondering “why”

So please, just look behind my eyes

All you have to do is say “hi”.
