Trust
by Ellen Cranitch
How many times did I ask him, are you using?
How many times did he deny it when he was?
He looks into my eyes as he lies.
My eyes register the lie.
His eyes register my disbelief.
His eyes communicate his anger.
At the perversity of this,
My eyes express rage.
We are trapped in the labyrinth of the gaze.
