In secret
She lives
but barely
Hiding
always behind painted eyes
and heavy hair
She tucks a strand
over her ear
Runs a finger
down
smoothing
the blackness
down
Fingertip
grazing
her neck
Skin
Brushing skin
Her eyes rise
to yours
glistening
like black opal
She smiles
a smile
that knows
a thousand secrets
You
only care
about
one
