Her Eyes Lie

Her eyes lie to me. They say that she is much older by portraying the the pain she has endured through the cracks upon her iris. Peering through the seams I can see painful images, compiled together over her many years. Bringing forth a glint of wisdom also upon her stare. Deceived I was to find that she was my age... Who is this woman? To be this young and to have also experienced so much pain. Perhaps she was forced to make a choice? Did she watch something she hold dear crumble within her hands? I can see the beauty behind that broken smile of yours, of this I'm certain. Your eyes can't hide this from me. Now I have been under her gaze for far to long, I am drawn to her pain. I know that I should walk away, but I can't I want to know, I need to know! I want to peer through your soul unfiltered by your lying eyes. I doubt she will allow me such a privilege but I must try. Who knows... maybe she will gaze upon my eyes and wonder the same.

When they say eyes are window to one's soul, I think that is somewhat true but not entirely... Eyes can hide so much more but of course those who're good readers can see through them clearly..
I really was touched by the emotions in this piece. You've penned this nicely!
One thing though, shouldn't "seems" be "seams"? But maybe I'm wrong..

Thank you for the thought and yeah you're right, hahahaha, I'm no the best speller.
