Watching the new release 
of Pride And Prejudice 
once again struck by 
the restrictions  
placed on people back then 
the strict self-discipline 
the eyes were the only 
means to convey 
deeper feelings 
 
And I cried 
because of your eyes 
and mine 
conveying an angry message 
all too often – whenever 
your routine is upset 
your face turns into stone 
with the coldest eyes 
 
And the tears 
I feel welling up 
are not allowed  
to show on my face 
not to appear 
a fool  
in your  
eyes…
