Behind Those Eyes Poem by Amber Millar

You smile and you giggle,
And you say everything just right,
Every joke and every laugh,
You're always right on cue,
So full of fun and larger than life,
But I can see it, right behind your eyes,

Your beauty is a mask,
A self conscious smile flutters,
On those pretty little lips,
Your confidence comes across so strong,
You're the proudest in the room,
But I can see it, right behind your eyes,

That quick witted remark stings,
The look of scorn you give burns,
Every insult and every dismissal,
Every look of loathing, every nasty smirk,
You're the one who cannot stand me,
But I can see it, right behind your eyes,

I stand and watch you from a corner,
I see all those smiles, all those laughs,
All that brightness and all that beauty,
Can heard those nasty words and hateful hints,
Can see those glares and ashamed frowns,
But I can see it, right behind your eyes,

Right behind your eyes...
You just need a friend.


I will always be here.
