Lovers Mask
Cassidy Melczak
I glance over and you I see
Looking, are you, staring at me
You are looking at me, but why?
Causing my heart and soul to fly
Wondering why you are so intrigued
By a soul so weary, fallen, fatigued
Now I see you are only a mask
Hollow and lifeless an empty flask
Your true self, to see, I hope and pray
Not the mask which you wear all day
Love, my precious gift, to you I give
It's you I want more than my life to live
You do not know, I cannot tell
The truths ringing in my head like a bell
Burning within me dwells a silent rage
The pain I feel too old for my age
