Masks
16 years ago
Like the mighty phoenix burning eternal...
nobody can see my face in this solo stained glass masquerade,
you're the only one who sees beneath these cold dark masks that have taken me.
I can't show my eyes, my one true face, they'd eat me alive, and leave no trace.
and yet you have seen beneath the scars, the broken mind and seen my heart,
you looked upon that which i hold secret, close, cold, and alone.
and when i showed you my heart, it had turned to stone.
somehow you awakened things, i thought no eyes would ever bring,
a man who'd given up on life has found a beat to bring him light.
It kills me that i cant do the same, Save you from your inner pain,
but know that what you mean to me, will never change or cease to be.
I'll always hold you in my thoughts, pray you get that which you want,
and someday soon i hope you'll meet, the person who can fill your needs.
I haven't left you yet, even when you were hurting so bad you tried to tear me to pieces with you,
and I know that's not you, because even though its not the same, you care for me too. But I'm still here,
and I'm not going anywhere any time soon.
I love you, I know it, you know it, and As much as you wish i didnt because you know it only hurts me,
I know I'll never be able to stop, and I'm content to love you, even if you can't love me . I may never
find another who can look upon the side of me you know, it was never meant to be seen by anyone,
and anyone else would only ruin the beauty that's finally found its way there.
