Depths

You'd never know
what lies just
beneath her surface.
Like trying to stare
into murky water.
Do you even want to?
or are you just
as content as the others
to only tread lightly.
You see what
you want to see.
Unless you care
to put on an
oxygen mask,
an anchor to a secure spot
and dive into her
uncharted depths
looking deeper
and deeper
and deeper.
Don't be surprised
at what you find
buried under
a bright smile
calm demeanor
simple shrug;
you were warned.
And in the end?
You really only see
what she lets you,
wants you to see.
