the story that our eyes tell

The lips are smiling,
And they always can,
But look into the eyes,
Look very, very closely,
Are the eyes smiling too?

You can laugh all you can,
You can always pretend,
But the eyes will betray,
So you can never hope of getting away.

You can smile with all your might,
Show your teeth from ear to ear,
But if your eyes remain so sad,
People would know you’ve been in tears.

The eyes always have something very interesting to tell.
The eyes can open windows to secrets we dare not spell.
The eyes can define honesty and lies.
The eyes give away true feelings.
The eyes seldom lie.
The eyes are the key to everything.
