The mystery in her eyes

The mystery in her eyes,

tells a story from her soul, 

the endless love she never had, 

the torture of control.

The smile on her face, 

always worn so thin, 

you’d think she was happy, 

until you looked within. 

And when you took the time, 

to ask if she was ok,

the look of devastation, 

said everything she couldn’t say.

I did enjoy the poetry. The mystery of words and women. Hard to know the real emotions unless kind woman allowed. I like the ending to the excellent poetry.

This is sad knowing that she's trying to wear a smile her heart still has hope in it. I can't imagine the hardship shes taking. She is exceptional and tough girl may she find relief and happiness despite her struggles.

Hence why she wears a smile but its always worn so thin.. I think you interpreted this poem perfectly. Thanks for reading.
