Behind That Mask Poem by Gold Trybes

BEHIND THAT MASK

No one sees the tears
streaming down my face
No one sees the pain
coming from deep within
All they see is a mask

Perhaps, they care
Perhaps they know
Perhaps they see
The hidden tears
That lies behind the mask

Behind that mask
lies a feeling of hate and angst
Behind that mask,
lies a gaping hole
Behind that mask,
lies a real craving
Behind that mask
lies a hurting heart
crying out in pain
needing for your love

No one sees the tears
The pain within my eyes
the tears upon my face
the wounded scars on my heart
all they see is the mask
the mask upon my face

This tears in my heart
threatening to tear apart
lonely in my world
no one sees it but me
all they see is a mask

No one sees the tears
streaming down my face
No one sees the pain
coming from deep within
All they see is a mask

All i had,
i willingly gave to you
all of me, you had,
i know i said some hurtful words
i know i couldnt make you stay
pray, how can i make you come back

I was ditched
when i needed you most
you walked away
in my times of trouble
when there was no one
to turn to in the world

I fought it hard
hot sobs down my eyes
but guess i shouldnt have
for you were not mine
to stay and be with
for a minute
you walked away
i knew i lost you
only but for a time

Cloud of uncertainty hovers
reality walks in
and i know you were not
that woman that was made for me
I shouldnt have fought
to get you into loving me

No one sees the tears
streaming down my face
No one sees the pain
coming from deep within
All they see is a mask

You said it wasnt all about love
i thought it was
how sad you made me know
a lil too late
when i'd given my all

Wish i could hide my pain
hard as i try,
it keeps resonating
all the times we had
the unspoken words
the beauty of the time
all keeps coming back
now, i have to walk alone
this cruel mortal earth

Its a long road
thorny, hard and long
i'm no longer afraid
walking this road alone
all i thought meant everything
turns out to be nothing
i'm no longer afraid
for im strong in my adversity
carrying this cross alone

Sitting and staring
watching life go by
wishing in my dreams
for you to come back
fighting hard to get over you
i realise its all been a nightmare
never to come true
