Would You Still Love Me

Would you still love me If I let down my smiling mask The one making me seem so alluring As to ignite in those who see me from afar The greenish fires of Envy Would you still love me If I renounce of my alter ego The one which everyone admires And lauds, knowing not that deep down I remain as simple as a blade of grass in a bouquet Would you still love me If I were made of disease Porous, filled with venom Yet, found there where it can be seen not Meant to be revealed only if I deem it best to Would you still love me? Oh I forgot, you love me not How silly of me to ask you such stuff As if, you really did love me As if, you cared for that ugliness which I keep hidden As if, you would dry those tears hidden in the sparkles of my eyes!
