Behind The Features

Behind the lips
The porcelin face
lives someone distant,
Not in place.

Behind the smiles
Through the tears,
falls pains and struggles
Wraths and fears.

Behind the words
that one might say,
theres many sorrows
tucked away.

Behind the laughs
the time we spend
theres endless pain,
that never ends.

Behind the eyes
of those you know
Theres many things
They wouldnt show.

Behind the features
That claim to be,
There hides the mask,
of you and me.
