Once again...

For the past days,
Once again I had to take it out,
to put on the mask to hide,
to hide what i feel,
to hide the tears that build up everytime,
to make sure nothing is seen.

It worked, the mask,
not a drop of tear was shed,
at least not in front of people,
although it was hard,
the mask was still able,
to shield the real feelings inside,
to keep it locked away,
so that the heart can be empty and clear,
so that there is no feeling of hurt.

I wished it would rain more,
for then it would lighten the mask's burden,
it's watery walls,
to hide the tears dropping,
the clouds of darkness,
to hide the face of sadness,
the sound of thunder,
to hide the trembling behind the voice.

I wished i had that someone,
to hold at night when i shiver,
when i feel empty,
to share my tears with me,
who could look beyond my mask,
and take care of the broken soul within.

I've played that song not one but many times,
but it was at that moment when i looked,
did my heart feel empty,
A feeling of total emptiness filled it,
totally unexplainable.
It was then i realized,
we weren't meant to be,
that you it was not.

I need a light!

The skies are pitch black even though its bright,

I can see no wind but the trees sway.

I want to cry but my tears are held back.

I have to be strong to hold everything up.

And so the skies cry for me,

to hide my tears.

My only wish is for a ray of light,

no matter how small it may be,

It will be enough for me.
