Behind Those Smiling Eyes Poem by deepanshi sabnani

Behind those smiling eyes,
Lies a dreadful pain,
A pain caused by loneliness,
The pain- resultant of a broken heart…

Behind those smiling eyes,
Dies a loving heart,
A fearful lonely heart,
That was made to split into pieces…

Behind those smiling eyes,
Stands aloof a fear,
A fear made responsible for the present,
A fear that was cultivated by a dream…

Behind those smiling eyes,
Are some broken dreams,
Dreams of unending love,
Mistakenly placed in the palace of lust…

Behind those smiling eyes,
Lies a blanket of tears,
Acting as clouds to protect the eyes,
Against the pieces of these broken dreams…

Behind those smiling eyes,
Stand the reminiscence of the past,
A flashback of picture-perfect memories,
So perfect that you doubt they were true…

Behind those smiling eyes,
Forms a false smile,
A smile- the expression of the heart,
No more! For these eyes have learned how to fake a smile…

These eyes narrate a tale and behind those smiling eyes, these smiling eyes,
Lays a coffin,
Burying in itself a dead relation,
And these eyes are its graveyard! ! !
