The Unmasking
On a cloud of music
I felt I was in heaven
Though it really was hell
He sang, I sang
We sang together
All time faded away
But as I woke
And the music ended
I felt left behind
I started to wonder
Who is he?
Angel? Devil?
Behind the mask
I can’t see
I creep up to him
I reach for the mask
He could have nothing to hide
I grab the mask
But as he turns to me
I feel a surge of
His fear and hatred
My eyes grow wide
I turn from him
I want to run and hide
He grabs me,
Turns me to him
Shouting at me
All I can feel
Is a deep dark hatred
For the face
Forgetting the man and the music inside
He lets me go
I run and hide
I close my door and cry
He yells and screams
And carries on
And I just want to die
What have I done?
What have I done?
The sweet, sweet music
Is gone
