Speaking to Lost Souls

Cracks in the Mask

I beg you to see

The cracks in my mask

But I implore you,

Please, please don't ask.

I need you to know

The world that I see

Just for a moment,

Sit silent with me.

I'll break the silence

to tell you a story

Of a broken heart,

And all its failed glory

Do you care to listen?

No, you'll surely say

I'll smile in isolation,

to watch you turn away.
