Analysis of The Eyes Have It (Revision 2)
Your eyes have signaled a defeat,
despite your words -- weak trials
to set a victory scene complete
with lies, sneers, and bogus smiles --
all hope, all truth, finally fled;
a game unstoppable once started.
What‘s left is but a love now dead,
sad stories since we met and parted.
All lives contain elemental stuff--
romance, drama, and cartoons.
Let's have --we suffer through enough--
no crying clowns, no blue balloons.
But ah! The hurt within those eyes --
that dam the tears your speech denies!
