Love Poem: Quiet Eyes

Quiet Eyes

They don't see those quiet eyes
Those too good smiles,
Those awful nights.

They don't see behind your mask
Your careful heart that's
Made of glass.

They don't see your silent cry
Don't know you tried to 
Take your life.

They don't see the real you
The one who feels all this,
I do.

I can see those quiet eyes.
I have seen those awful nights.
I can see beyond the mask.
I've been the one you spoke to last.

I can see the real you
I know who you are,
What you do.

I sometimes feel 
The same way too,
But I have this...
I have you.

I just hope you know
You have me too.
