The Mask
She carries it with her
Like a heavy ball and chain.
They wont let her put it down,
So she puts on a mask,
The smiles of slow death.
She wont let them know.
Every night,alone
In the dark,
She burries her face in a pillow of tears.
By morning she is empty
Just to be filled throughout the day
With threatening tears welling up inside her.
Damning herself and cursing all others.
One empty day
She'll drop that ball and chain,
And slowly unmask herself.
She finally will lay her head on a dry pillow.
And we will be empty.
And throughout the days
We will be filled with her unseen tears.
And every night, alone
In the dark,
We will bury our faces
In her pillow of drenched confusion.

I lay awake in the early morning,
Thinking of what I said
And how I cried last night.
Selfishly, I suppose, because
I know all my tears wont change
What has happened -
Or what will be.
And as you lay beside me
Breathing into the darkness,
I know that your mind
Is content for a while.
But when you wake
Your head will be cluttered,
And your heart will be full
With so many people's sorrowfull secrets.
And I wonder if behind that mask
You too are sad inside.
I feel that all those secrets
Must make you feel tired, and worn,
And older than you should.
So I reach over and hold you tight,
And wish that somehow
I could lift some of your burden
To let your mind rest.
And I tell myself that
Next time I will be stronger.
And if ever again there is a need for tears-
It will be my secret.
