Thespis Mask

Cutting deeper 
to the core 
words on 
a chopping block 
drawn in 
by your pen 

Extracting blood 
from one's 
deepest cavern 
you drew the blade; 

Inside I hear 
sheets of rain 
falling down 
my walls 

As you 
dagger n’ pierce 
my heart, 
I run away clean 
Duality …. 
Is the deepest wound 

Venom 
In your mouth 
black as poison 

As you silently 
twist and jeer 
torturing slowly 
without emotion 
or feeling 

My I love u’s disappear 
in one act 
It’s a cursed emotion; 
Now take your bow 
as the curtains 
falls heavy, 

Words of hate 
leave an awful scar 
The aftertaste 
of deceit 
Peel off that 
Thespis mask 
And leave 
my stage
