Hidden Emotion

I see the fire in her eyes;

I’ll see it till the day she dies.

Emotion burning deep.

She has her lows, she has her highs,

no one will ever see her cries,

or ever, ever weep.

Author's Notes/Comments:

Poetic Form: Rime Couee

This is a French form consisting of two rhymes. First there is a rhyming couplet
of normally of eight syllables then a third and shorter line.
There is another couplet that rhymes with the first one and the sixth,
shorter line that rhymes with the third line.

This gives us a suggested pattern :

x x x x x x x a
x x x x x x x a
x x x x x b
x x x x x x x a
x x x x x x x a
x x x x x b

Your shorter lines can be 6 or 7 syllables long,
however, your shorter lines must be
the same length as each other
