THIS MASK THAT I WEAR

 

THIS MASK THAT I WEAR

 

This Mask That I wear

That I live behind

Playing a different tune

To face the world

The high notes

The low notes 

And the ones in between

A mask that says

I can play whatever tune

 That suite the moods

 

Playing the tune right out loud

So loud it disguises

 The screaming

Tearing

Fearing

Searing

Agonizing

Hurt way deep, deep

Inside

That’s pulling this 

Soul so far apart

Why did you have

To leave this heart?

 

A mourning tune

The feeling of my heart

Crying

Sighing

Dying

Self-denying

It’s over

It can’t be over

You are my lover

It’s not over

Hiding behind this cover

Where no one will

Ever discover

The deceit and the lies
