Masks

Between you and me
Your thoughts and my feelings
My loves and your passions
Your fears and my apprehensions
Your friends and my dears
Is there any connection?
I fathom deep within and
You search your mind
No, nothing seems to merge and unite

Between you and me
there are puzzling divides
we know, how hard we tried
to merge and unite
but never did we lose our core
and we remained ever on parallel shores

Between you and me
we know, the faces that are real
are so difficult to bear
so we found a way to survive 
now, we don our masks so tight
that all differences 
between you and me seem
so surreal and light.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
