a placid surface is what you show
refuse to let anyone see below the mask you wear
will you let anyone past the facade
within arms reach
close enough for you to get hurt?
your close-combat wounds have healed
but the scars remain
unwilling, unnerved, un-trusting
you've been here before
will this time really be any different?
