Tricks

how do my eyes

know I am sad

enough to cry

and at what age 

did my ears learn

to let in bad news ?

what magic causes

my heart to throb

for you

and who told my lips

to say those words

I can not explain ?

although 

my reality begs 

to differ, I know

life is playing 

tricks

on me
