the side of me most people never see
Dark
Figure
Stands starkly
Her frame exposed
In utmost detail
Mystery in plain sight
For there’s not the slightest hint
Of what lies within the border—
What sorrows? what joys? what deep regrets?
Mona Lisa was not so hard to read.

I like the idea of a mystery harder to read than Mona LIsa.
