Behind the Mask


One question I've always Wanted to ask Is if there's another person Behind your mask. You look at me daily With your beautiful eyes. I have to wonder Why it is your heart cries. You go through each day In some sort of haze. Is this the way You want to spend all your days? You rarely sleep. You rarely eat. I can't believe Your heart still beats. You make me smile But your face stays the same. I've been with you a while But I'm afraid it's a game. Your shoulders droop. Your back arches. Your words loop. Your eyes are dark. The light slowly fades From your beautiful face. I start to cry, For you've lost the race. Your hand slowly slips From its place grasped in mine. Your life is over, But you're still so divine.
