Mirrors

How much pain can one smile hide?
How many lies can it conceal?
On the surface, all appears whole
But under it all, what's the deal?
Does the smile hide the empty,
Does the attitude bare false witness?
Do the words that you speak
Tell the truth of your fitness?
Or is it a game, you know has no winner
No fortune to speak of right now?
Does it continue to lie, even to you?
Is this all that you seek to endow?
It is said that the eyes are the mirrors of the soul
And inside them is all that we seek.
When I gaze at your eyes, I see no more smiles
Only those things that you dare not to speak.
