Only Lonely On the Inside

I sit for hours in front 
of a computer screen
reading quotes about 
life and love.

Messages are sent to
Me that I quickly save 
As though I've been 
Embraced with the
Warmest of hugs..

A window to the outside
World is all I ask
Hiding any real emotion 
My hands then take on their 
greatest task.

I don't say much back; 
but thoughts of others on
paper all I'll ever have ....

Only lonely on the inside 
my heart frail as glass....

Hide my face from the world  
so that I can continue wearing the mask....
