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?
