Mask of Lies
Everyone hides behind a mask.
Some use it for protection.
Others, use it to hide their deception.
I now see through that spectrum.
You wore a mask of lies.
Its fabric has become tattered.
The truth, I can visualize.
I once wore a mask of fire.
My heart was filled with desire.
Your hate turned it to stone.
Now, I face the world alone.
You wore a mask of lies.
Its colors have faded fast.
Deception is in your eyes.
I wear a mask of ice.
This state I'm will suffice.
Turning my emotions cold.
Until the right man has me to hold.
You wore a mask of lies.
I was fooled until it shattered.
The glimmer has gone from my eyes.
