Averted eyes

Who knows why
Comes by surprise
So many faces
Wander by
Averted eyes.

Tilt your face up
That pretty face
Has caught your eye
Has caught your eyes
Averted eyes.

Perhaps tattoo
Some visual cue
Oh what to do
She's caught your cue
Averted eyes.

It's no surprise
It might be wise
To recognize
The otherwise
Avert those eyes.

So many cries
To recognize
So many shys
That smiling face
So many tries
Averted eyes.

Could be some pain
Deep in those eyes
Some hidden pain
You can not feign
Averted eyes
Not asking wise.

Then by surprise
Averted eyes
Will tell you whys
In several tries
To listen is
Revealing prize.
