Fake Eyes!

Wondering at the ages

Of the lines which form her

Smile.

Wondering about those smiles

Which never are found in her eyes.

Wondering about

Where she lost herself.

Wondering is it all fake or it is all real.

I am talking about her,

The girl I have seen grow,

Since I have understood the meaning of life.

I am talking about her fake smile,

Which never reflects in her eyes.

I am talking about the girl

I know inside out,

Yet, I feel she surprises me

With newer dimensions every time.

So, I asked this girl,

"Why are your smiles fake?"

She answered with a real smile,

"Maybe it is just the eyes which are!"

And I looked at her eyes again,

In the mirror.

I found that she was just a carve

Of somebody I always

Taught her to be,

Yes! I am talking about me.
