Masquerade

Written in 2009

You broke something in me that can’t be fixed. 
You broke my heart in half like an insignificant stick. 
And what hurt me the most was that you didn’t even care. 
When you see me you act as if I’m not even there. 
But I still put on a face every single day.
My life is nothing but a masquerade. 
I where I mask to hide what I am. 
So no one will see the damage that you have done to who I am. 
All the bruises, scratches, cuts and scars.
Didn’t effect who you are. 
It hurt me deeply that’s why I bleed.
So I keep my mask on because that’s all I need. 
I may seem to be there but inside I’m gone. 
The lights remain on but no ones home. 
My mask hides all that I have become. 
Someone who’s alone and scared and who’s feelings have become numb.
So you may see me seeming to be ok.
But it’s just me in my masquerade.
