behind the mask

By StaryEyed1

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

i see you walking along and i turn the other way time hasn't killed the hurt it's only dulled the pain i sat there and cried then locked it all away choosing a fancy mask i grinned and walked on but today was different my heart was full and my fancy mask faded i saw you walking along yet couldn't turn away watching from afar familiar feelings rising i found to my surprise a refusal to be locked away my suspicions rising of all i'd held inside in my head i feared that my heart couldn't hide the old tears began to flow i tried to pour you out but the crying never ceased as i realized finally i'd never be rid of you Written January 15th, 2002 © on Jan 15 2002 01:01 PM PST    0 • 8
