The Mask

There was magic in your wordIn every syllable I found loveDeeper I fell with everything you saidLight shone on me from above
Your sound entranced meI didn’t hear my gut’s pleaYour presence was blissI found solace in your kiss
What was it that made me blind?Was it your charm that formed your mask?Or the smile that could hide any malice?I don’t know the why or what?
It came out of the blueThe pain of realityTime scattered your mask  into piecesAlong with shards of my heart
I wish I were smarterI wish I could see the faceHidden behind the maskNow only the scar remains
The longing for foreverGrips at my heartSadness bellows in darknessI fall into despair
Never will I believe in your charmI do not wish to even hear your name You stole the innocence of my heartIt has sworn to protect me from harm
I fear every face under the sunI fear every sudden turnThat might hide another urnseeking the ashes of my dreams
