face of pain
behind a mask of anger
lies a face of pain
you asked me once
to take it off
so I did
then
when you left
I put it back on
again
you returned
to tell me it was all ok
I could take it off again
you would wipe away the blood
you would help me forget
you would make the pain…
fade away
then…
you left
and…
you forgot to take the mask with you
so…
I put it back on
again
and I said
this time…
never again
you can ask me sweetly
you can beg me sickly
and I’ll tell you
the same
all that remains…
behind my mask of anger
is my face of pain
