    Behind These Eyes

    Behind these eyes lie tears of hate
    Should i believe i will die alone
    Or continue life with a future mate?
    Whatever happens is my fate
    Behind these eyes i feel abandoned
    And left alone
    As if i can't go anywhere
    Not even home

    Behind these eyes lie tears of confusion
    I can't get over him
    No place for a substitution
    I feel lost and hurt
    I don't know what to do
    I'm hoping and praying something can ge me through
    Behind these eyes is the aura of the deceased
    Nothing left from my heart
    Not one piece

    Why do i feel the way i do?
    Why am i the way i am?
    It kind of makes me a bit sick
    I feel my whole life is a constant continuous conflict
    Behind these eyes are hidden tears
    From overpowering laughs
    My best friend's death was scheduled on the devils graph

    I miss him so much
    His smile
    His laugh
    His touch
    Behind these eyes lie a different outlook on the world
    Behind these eyes lie my past
    My present
    My future
    Everyone has a story

    that is really sad about your friend. At least he is in a better place and can drink all the milkshakes and eat all the candy he wants. The poem was really good though

    I really feel your pain when I read this. You have the ability to paint images with words that a poet needs. Well done.

    Poetry is what is lost in translation.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
