Mask

Your smile
so cheerful, so bright
yet your eyes
betrayed
the curvature of your lips.

Yes, I know
through your eyes
such despair, lonely eyes
glimmer with tears
none joyful.

Behind the mask insecurely attached
is a face many times
drenched
with the pearls of your eyes
so precious,so pure
so innocent.

But be strong
for the time will come
where
the eye of heaven shines
with flowers bloom
butterflies flutter
and melodies fill the air
like the early days of spring.

Deliberately
your mask will shed
and once more
I shall witness
your true smile
my friend.

Choppy,
-Gloomy-
