but the eyes, they cheat, they lie, they conceal.
they are the key to your soul; the way to your heart.
and yet,
these subtle, fleeting moments,
when they sparkle; the mixed signals they convey;
happiness is but ephemeral; your eyes mercurial

and yet i remain
poised, collected and calm;
unmoved, unaffected, unyielding.

however small, however insignificant;
however meaningless, however absurd;
it is within me; it is beyond me.



but this i choose to ignore.
