Hidden in her eyes
Are so many lies,
But they are just a shield
To cover up the things that can’t be revealed.

She looks in the mirror, her reflection now shattered,
There’s nothing more than a face that’s torn and battered.
She is a tortured soul,
Just wanting for her heart to be whole.

She’s been throwing those flowers
At your face for hours,
But she’s imaging them turn into knives
Your pain is exactly what she thrives.

One day, someone was watching this girl,
And everything about her began to unfurl.
She was then confronted,
About the personality she fronted.

Her face drained of all color,
Never thought she’d find this in another:
Someone that can read it in her face,
All she’s ever wanted was to feel love’s embrace.

i know i was scared that the third stanza would have that kind of effect but i was just watching my friend one day in the park throwing flowers at my other friend and those words just came to my mind, but thank you for your thoughts

It was a nice poem, although I felt some of the lines were a bit too short.  Also, check your spelling(third stanza, third line).  Good work.

Peace. Love. Forgiveness.
  Blessings and Guidance
