She smiles
And it's the prettiest damn smile.
She laughs
And you can't help but laugh with her.
Her makeup is flawless,
Her clothing pristine.
When you talk
She listens as though you are the only person
In the world.
You can't help loving her.
But
Don't look in her eyes
Those eyes
Huge and innocent
Hold all the pain she keeps hidden away
The lies and secrets that threaten to drown her
The betrayals and the shame she can't escape from.
She holds the weight of everyone's disappointment
In her
And you can see it all
In those
Big
Beautiful
Empty
Eyes

I highly recommend that you read Edgar Allan Poe's short story, "Ligeia."
When I read it, I understood it-- and I have a feeling that you would, too.
I will definitely read it!
Where can I find those eyes to look at them. Nicely written poem.
Thank you!
Lots of people describe me this way. Totally relate able. Good job!
