What Hides Behind Lying Eyes

C. Love
Unseen intentions, malicious intent
Inaudible loathing leaving lingering lament
Betrayal clothed in a friendly disguise
Watch out for what hides behind lying eyes

Conspired against all the while ignorant
Plots planned producing personal torment
Credulous decisions pathway to future demise
Watch out for what hides behind lying eyes

Jealousy and hatred fester to enormous extent
Toxic terminology trusted typically circumvent
Be careful, look closely, be well advised
Watch out for what hides behind lying eyes

    Yes, it's very interesting how the eyes are the window to the soul, and although some people try to keep their blinders down and shut, if you look closely, you can still see the shadows lurking behind. Great read....I enjoyed this very much.

    Very clever writing. Lying eyes could only hide the truth for so long before the truth is exposed. Thanks for sharing.

    Hmmm, reminds me of a few people I no longer see, thankfully!

    Great use of alliteration, internal rhyme, and rhyme in general. I really enjoyed this. When I try to rhyme, it sounds like a really bad Hallmark card. This is impressive, insightful, and most importantly -- true.
