Mask

Tear-stained cheeks
And rosy eyes,
No one sees it
When you cry,
Hide the pain
Behind the mask,
The pain just keeps
The feelings back.

Feelings of love
Gone so unwanted,
Feelings there
Just to taunt me,
Gone unnoticed
Gone so wrong,
Hidden deep
There for so long.

But no one sees it,
Thanks to this,
My lovely piece
Of craftmanship,
A work of art
I so adore,
My mask of magic
Fairy lore.

Reality
Is not for me,
I love my mask
So plain to see,
Behind it lies
The pain and tears,
But the mask it covers
All these fears.

I'm not as perfect
As I seem,
My sanity not
Quite as keen,
But you don't notice
The pain and rust that
Hide who I am,
A dirty bastard.
