when her day is over

at night,
she takes her mask off
and sets it on the dresser,
beside her wig,
her teeth,
her smile. 
her empathy and good will.
she's no longer who she
pretends to be.
but it's dark,
the lights are off
and no one can see.
who am i 
to rat her out
as she closes her eyes
beside me.
