MY EYES BETRAY ME

Don’t you hate when you are happy, when life is finally getting back on track and something happens to drag you right back through the hell you pulled yourself from?  Don’t  you hate when you finally find strength to eliminate things that hold you back and you think you can handle anything just to find out your heart doesn’t feel the same?  A wise blogger once said Your heart wants what your heart wants even if it’s wrong.  I believe our hearts are stubborn and they definitely put up a fight when it isn’t getting its way!  So life is going along just fine, you are adapting, changing, living again and you are put in a position to show the world your new found strength and your heart starts beating and your resolve is strong…and then your heart sends a message to the world via the eyes….tears….failure.  Except you haven’t failed…you have just found out you are human.

My eyes betray me

Burning my face

Hot with tears

Streaking rivers

Of black

Through crevices

Deep with valley’s

Cut deep from

Torrents of anxiety

I’ve allowed

You to cause me

My eyes betray me

Exposing my heart

All my weaknesses

To those sitting

Patiently with daggers

Disguised as smiles

Waiting to hurt me

My eyes betray me

But I close them

And within the darkness

I am blind to the

Silent smiles

That wish me ill
