“Cutting away my mask”

Slowly, she snipped it away
As it fell down to the floor
A tear streamed down my cheek
As I realized what’s been done
She’s cut away my mask
Revealing the face that –
I’ve been hiding behind my mask
Of waves and curls, too long
My fingers run thru my hair
Once long and beautiful
Nearly down to my waist
Which has now fallen to the floor . . .

Have you ever heard that "No shirt, No shoes" rule? My question is...Why doesn't that rule include pants?

Very cool poem. I loved the imagery.

Masks... interesting things... (Ok, I'm going to leave now before I start to mumble...)

Beuatiful imagery! We all need to shed out masks sometime... Great write!

After Love comes Pain, then Love, Then Pain, then Love, then Pain..... does anyone else see a pattern here? Oh well, can't say it's not worth it.

"Revealing the face that –
I’ve been hiding behind my mask"

Wow.
Allright, I know that's a lame response.
But I'm serious.
Not oly did I enjoy the poem,
but you aptly describe a mask you wear,
and reminded us all that we ourselves wear masks, each and every day.
*nods*

Pukka piece.

Another dream that ended way too soon
Left me lonely way before the dawn
Searching for the strength to carry on
