The Mask

Standing in the crowds,

My loved one on my right

My whole world on the left,

And yet, there I stood,

In the crowds, feeling...

Emptiness and hallowed,

Loneliness and alone,

Abandoned and forgotten,

Unwanted and unloved

Faces blended together, blurred

Staring into abysses,

And it’s looking right back at me

The void in a heart is so steeps,

That you will slip and fall

Surrounded by loving souls,

The reasons to smile for,

To get up in the morning,

And yet, nothingness crept into a heart

Hence the mask I’m wearing
