Private Eyes
by Alisa Jswe all have those private parts
that cry out
needing to be touched,
inside every broken heart
is a little boy
a little girl
desiring only to be loved,
and yet
we hide behind,
that quick reply,
'no, everything's alright'
while wiping tears that no one sees
from crying eyes,
inside ... 06/02/2009 Posted on 06/02/2009

| Posted by Nanette Bellman on 06/03/09 at 08:08 PM Yes, yes, yes. We do tend to masquerade our real feelings. You hit it on the head Alisa. |
| Posted by Kris Mara on 06/04/09 at 12:34 PM yes, it's so strange that this is the world we live in...and rarely comment on, but you have and so well here -- I like the simple directness of this piece....it just says it all. |
