Masks

Mask in grey Like mystery You waved me goodbye When I was as young as five, Because you were hurt and betrayed But was it really that easy?, To leave your little girl Due to someone else's mistake. Mask in red Like torment You ruined us Mostly her, Now she fakes smiles and plays pretend in this broken home, Why did you replace him? If you only came to make things worse. Mask in black like my nightmares that haunt me You walked into my life, With no warning sign I lost myself in you.. but then you proved me right, Love isn't real because Boys will be boys and.. girls will be toys. Mask in green Like purity and uniqueness Then there's you , With your eyes, voice and the way you walk Humanly yet thought extremely rare With green eyes to go along with sweet talks by the river, But you deserve more... More than a broken girl. ~A.B
