Private Heart...

I have a public face,
          and a private heart.
Do you see ones end,
          and the others start?
Or like so many,
          passing by,
Fooled by the smile,
          you miss the sigh?
And blinded thus,
          would you turn away,
When a private heart
          would bid you

          ‘Stay?'

Rewrite: 23/07/2016... a page on a webcomic brought my mind back to
this page. I think I can express it better now, lets see...


I have a public face,
          and a private heart.
Do you see ones end,
          and the others start?
Or like so many,
          past and gone,

You see the two
         and think them one.
And thinking thus,
          simply turn away,
When a private heart
          would ask you

          ‘Stay?'
