Same View Different Day

She

Quietly she tucked away
all her insecurity
back to where few dared to stray
Amidst her love and monogamy.

A seasoned player she knew her part
and tread the boards with grace
but deep within her secret heart
It was a frightful lonesome place.

She laughed and smiled by light of day
By night her face was slack
It was easier to feign the mirth
Than to explain her utter lack.
