Behind Your Eyes
I saw a rose

no matter how much time
has passed,
I still think of
how could you
be the one
to hurt me so
make me see
the evil that walks
cold shadows that loom
behind each bright smile.
If someone had told
of you in that way
I would have said
it was not so.
Not you
so genuine
in your eyes
of no sign
of hidden design
or driven malice.
The last to know
often learns to believe
and comes to know the best
too late
to save a heart
soon enough
to save the soul.
