Quickly bring up the mask Don’t let them see your face With tears streaming down While betrayal settles into place Retreat behind the mask For emotions must be kept apart So no notice is brought To your weeping and shattered heart The mask, a refuge, A cage. Safe from the outside world But inside, a war does wage Where Hurt and Anger swirl In a deadly dance Hurt screams “Learn your lesson Let not the mask slip Dropped once before ‘Twas your heart which did rip” Trapped behind a mask Lonely in crippling isolation To scared to be loved No room for its completion Too lonely, too scared Cannot stand it anymore! Something must give In this unending war The mask crumbles apart Your life, your sanity depart Frozen out, blocked out Confusion reigns Where depression remains The walls are down The fortress conquered Disorder and pain stain the walls Displaying mute evidence of a soul tortured Your emotions sway free in the wind As you stand Scared and shaken, not knowing where to start While slowly, with eyes to the stained walls, love flows in Painstakingly piecing together your shattered heart Showing you where to begin. |
