    The Man behind the Mask

    I see a man that no one else knows

    I see his happiness I see his woes

    I see his smiles I see his tear

    He knows my strengths and he knows my fears

     

    He only shows his true self to me

    I wish everyone could see the man that I see

    He hides behind his mask

    Reliving himself seems to be a deadly task

     

    I see him only as he is

    My feelings are also his

    We are two that became one

    If he leaves I will die and be done

     

    The man behind the mask is the one I love dearly

    I tell him often I say it sincerely

    I’m the only one that knows the real him

    I give into his every whim

     

    I love him and he loves me

    He holds the key

    The key to my heart

    Finding that was a true art

    Well that’s our fairy tale

     I bet our love will prevail

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
