Once, I hid safely
Behind smirks of coffee
And crackling conversation.
Once, my dangly ear-rings
Distracted those wanting
To look deeper.
Once, my brazen hair
Outshone happily, everything
Between my ears.
Once, my eyebrow
Raised artfully, quelled
All attempts at intimacy.
Still wondering why,
I let you unravel
This carefully knit personality,
Over mocha and samosa.
(an apparently better version of this is on caferati...)
