eyes of a fool

Eyes of a fool
They stare without looking…
Without meaning to look.

She smiles
A beautiful smile
Imitating the happiness she desires
But does not have

Her face lies,
It hides pain
The sorrow that resides below a heart
That no longer loves

Her eyes
Filled with sadness
Are the only measure of truth left
In a world full of deciet

They once twinkled
Her eyes
Sharing with the world a radiant happiness
That has now been forgotten

Blankly they watch
Looking for hope
But remain empty, longing to feel
Anything at all

She ropes them in
With those eyes
Catches their gaze and holds it before
Shamefully looking away

It always works,
Unsuspecting men
Fall for her emotionless expression
Feel the sadness

They take her in
She bleeds them dry
Of everything they have to offer
And more

She walks out
Of their lives
Having satisified her emotional hunger
For now

And resumes
What is her ‘work’
Sitting alone and creating an act
Of depression

Fooling everyone
Including herself
With those eyes filled not with truth, but deception
And greed
