THE ANSWER IN A FACE

Confounded here in the center of the world

    I hold my woes in check,

Reminded now of the people that I love,

    I know there's no way back.

Before I look at the answer in a face

    There's one sure thing I know,

The eyes won't tell all the secrets of the past

    But in the skin they show.
