Love Poem: See-Through

See-Through

See-through The heart so desperately hidden Quiet emotions betray your face From hope and apprehension Your mask shifts out of place While pride contorts your vision A simple act prepared in haste Subtle hints reveal the tension Oblivious tells perceived as grace I see you just as you are Right through your cheap disguise Why must you try to hide your face In superficial lies
- \/ - lies are difficult to keep. Some people think they have the gift of grift, with the perfect poker face... They may be right. But-Lying in a relationship, betting friendship or love, risking the trust of someone close... How far do you really think you can get by stacking the deck? Quietly enduring your false facade, who's heart are you breaking and who's love are you forsaking?
