...Strand...
A strand of sorrow
like there is no tomorrow
reflected in your eyes
a subliminal grin
above your chin
yields no compromise
it is but a shadow
a shielded lie
that forever
resides in the rise
of the emotional ocean
and the coveted devotion
holding you down
inside
a watery charade
you've perfectly made
to mask the white lies
you've gently laid
down to sleep
within your Sea so deep
swimming beneath
the tides
