Tears of pain,

tears of sorrow,

all hidden,

beneath a mask.

A mask of happiness,

to hide what’s real.

A mask of cheerfulness,

something I don’t feel.

~

Tear stained cheeks,

and bloodshot eyes,

all hidden,

beneath a mask.

A mask of bliss,

to hide behind.

A mask of joy,

a feeling I can’t find.

~

This mask was made,

when I first met you.

This mask was made,

so you couldn’t see through.

~

I want to feel,

I want to know,

what happiness is,

but I’ll have to grow.

~

So behind this mask,

you’ll never see,

the pain I have,

wishing you were here with me.
