She Hid Herself So Well

By Bruce Clifford

She looked into my eyes
Or was she looking through me
Her eyes couldn’t tell
She hid herself so well

She looked into my thoughts
Or was she gazing right past me
Her words would never say
She knew just how to play

So when I was looking at you
Were you looking at me too
Feeling so lost
I might never know

She played havoc with my mind
Or was she always trying to be kind
Her touch never got too close
Only she knows who she loves the most
She hid herself so well

She played chaos in my brain
Or was she only trying to behave
My words never touched her heart
I guess this why we remain apart
I might never know

She looked into my eyes
Or was she looking through me
Her eyes couldn’t tell
She knew me all too well
