BEHIND THE MASK

Behind the mask,
I observe,
Life lived by everyone but me,
A choice I made,
Quite long ago,
I lost it all,
Love,life,hope,
In the twinkle of an eye,
As fast as the breaking of dawn,
And when I stare in the mirror,
I can't recognise the reflection,
But I know the scent of
Something beautiful dying,
People don't understand,
But patiently I wait,
With just a fragment of hope
In my hand,
Awaiting my denouement.
