A Quiet Disguise.

Face turning pale, her breath failed with a start. Being half-loved had dissembled her heart. Quietly subdued, yet inwardly weeping Over news, that 'tho discreetly taken, Was shockingly hard.. Scars she'd been keeping Warily disguised, she yet quite shaken, Disclosed to her soul. Alone now, wholey Inept at accepting this mind-blowing Note.She would miss him so much, this going She knew would leave holes that she couldn't show. Admitting her treasure could always erode, And future dreams be dissolved, now events Uncover routine as unseemly. Exploding With disbelief, grieving, she later repents. Knowing her life as already ordered By sometimes tortured assent, she borders Now on disquieting alarm, this scheming To please the unpleaseable leaches her. Drop by wearying drop, her heart leaning Towards dulling acceptance, now subsides Into half-life again. Hopes once believed Are left hanging by threads spread so finely. She hardly now measures a truth from a lie. Knowing well how to disguise, she just sighs.
