I Wear The Mask

I wear the mask that doesn’t only cover my face

It also covers my arms and it covers legs

Between him and I no one will ever know,

In public we are fine, but it is only a show.

Oh, “if only they knew” is always a thought

I never saw it coming, but I fell so hard

Watching fireworks together from the front yard.

I fell even harder when you pushed me down;

I wear the mask

I used to blame myself for ticking you off,

But eventually everything got you, like the slightest cough

You hurt me so bad, bruises everywhere

Wearing shorts, even short sleeves; I wouldn’t dare

I wear the mask.
