Heartsleeve
disguises her voice
if she can...
holds her tongue
when she can't.
Her real voice
insecures his mind
and
threatens his
fragile heart.

Ah, it does happen that way far too often, doesn't it, Lori? We all have our weak spots, vanity being probably the worst of them. Some women have to wear invisible burka's to appease and get along with their men. A shame.

This is excellent.

JP is so insightful. I know this of you, but I doubt I could have said it so knowingly.
