Maybe a time for reason would avert this crime.
Am I hanging from the weakest thread?
Do I long for a night with you in vain?
Might as well leave it all… what difference does it make?
I feel you now… as thin as the air you inhabit.
Is your presence fading into oblivion in the form of a new song?
It’s not mere chance.
It’s something else.
Why then confine myself into a shelter
If no threat outside can be found?
Is the peril real?
It would be careless of me…
I can’t be myself around you.
The real me… no one could love.
How can it be that you see this?
What power of sight do you posses which allows you to see the mask that I so try to pass as my face?
Could that be the reason you are not with me?
I’ve worn the mask for so long that it’s become unbearable to live without it.
I’ve forgotten my real face…
But please forgive all of my deceit. I do it merely because I feel that the real me, whoever she may be,
might never be enough. I never meant no harm…
Now comes the hard part of trying to remember who I really am… and it’s all because of you.
When I do, will you finally love me?
