Tears (I Couldn't Tell)

I couldn't tell from her tears
Nor could I tell from her eyes
I couldn't tell from the way she smiled
Or from her tired sighs

She seemed normal as ever
But scared, and aged with pain
When talking her voice broke apart
As if she couldn't gain

Something new had happened
I was at a loss with her
Felt as though she'd been replaced
But still, my head would stir

I couldn't tell from her actions
Nor could I tell from her touches
I couldn't tell from her body 
Or from her weakened clutches 

I kept on watching, wondering
And found to my surprise
She cried when I was absent
And was full of strong, dark lies

She left a note next Sunday
She was gone before I woke
I missed her even before her leave
And wished she could have spoke

I couldn't tell from her tears
Nor could I tell from her birds   
I couldn't tell from her laughter
Or from her final words. 

Author notes

This is a random poem about a stressed out girl trying to break up with her oblivious boyfriend. Weird huh? I honestly don't know why it rhymes, all I know is that it started rhyming and I had to work hard to keep it that way. But I like it all the same. Hope you guys do too! -_^
