i tried not to notice
I tried not to see
The redness in the eyes
The teardrops on a cheek
The weak smile of assurance
The shakey lie 'i'm fine'
Everyone knows that dance
Everyone's said those lines
I tried not to notice
I tried not to see
But the mirror never lies
About what your doing to me
I tried not to see
The redness in the eyes
The teardrops on a cheek
The weak smile of assurance
The shakey lie 'i'm fine'
Everyone knows that dance
Everyone's said those lines
I tried not to notice
I tried not to see
But the mirror never lies
About what your doing to me

Sometimes the simplest poems speak the loudest....I feel this way all the time....

Interesting. I read it twice and still I cannot tell whom this poem addresses... oneself, or another?
