This is one I wrote a few years back.
I always liked the first, last, and penultimate lines but was never sure how to properly reconcile the rest. I have come to respect the various perspectives on this forum. Therefore, any critiques, comments, suggestions, or assertions that it is total crap...will be carefully considered. Thank you.

Eggshell Dance
She danced on eggshells, on the edge;
accrued indifference, feigned exception
to the lies and sophistry--
conspiratorial partners of deception
masked in clever conversations.
She weighs the options, even while
he watches and discreetly wonders
when she lost the enigmatic smile.
