Masquerade

Hold the mask before
your face so that no
one else will see.

Sonata playing for
the lovers, ripped
from some fantasy.

Dressed this way
we all blend in a
circus show of freaks.

Hiding dreams and
misfortune we don't
care for what you seek.

Don't remove your
feathered ..mask the
truth may hurt to much.

revealing all you wanted,
needed. Show them
that you are such.

Velviteen and satin
gowns, wisp away
your laden thoughts.

Lose yourself in their
dance,don't remember
when it stops.

Who am I? they laugh
and taunt in a good
game of charades.

When it's over you
don't know it was
just a masquerade.
