Mirrored Mask

Mirrored mask
Hides the pain
A single task
To keep me sane

Fragile wings
Gentle touch
Simple things
It's all too much

Golden rain
Races down
You take my pain
And ease my frown

Whispered word
Running water
It was you I heard
And in my step I falter

A silent tear
You hold me tight
One word to ease my fear
One word for a lasting night

My mirrored mask
You take away
You stop me from my simple task
"Try again another day," you say.

I let go of my mirrored mask
You pull me up and hold me tight
And made me realize what all was black
You hold me close in sheltered flight

No way to say
What I feel for you
If I may
I'll say thank you
