Hiding place

That's where you will always stay
laughing and happy
among family and friends
on the edge of my lips
as I paint on a smile
and adjust the sails
to weather the storm
that no one can see.
The storm that rages
'neath the calm of my face
as the mask is pulled tight
hiding all trace of you.
