Part Of The Narrative

I heard that eyes

Are a window

To the soul

Too bad you hide behind glass

It’s not the glass that’s the problem

The glass is beautiful–

Deep

Soft

Dark

It’s there,

Though 

Eyes 

Change

With our

Expressions

Your eyes sparkle

When you smile

You smile a lot

It’s not just you

My eyes are hidden too

A circle of dark glass

To hide my thoughts

Some people are open in this

Their eyes are honest

They show you

Their hearts

You’re better at that

Then I am

Though you still keep things dark

It’s not really our fault,

Is it?

Our glass is dark

Like a tinted bottle

But somehow

Your eyes convey things

While still hiding

Behind

Glass 

How do you do it?

I can’t sparkle and hide at the same time

You’ll have to teach me

I’ll have to study

Do my little research

You know how I can do that?

I just have to 

See you

I could learn

If you would look at me

Long enough

To show me
