every fake smile and moment
builds this false emotion up
forming clouds for my inner storm
an endless sea of waves
if these tears were real for once
maybe the rain would end
but I remain behind a mask
and it's just something in my eye

Great closing line to this piece. It really ended it strong. I've always been partial to shades of gray myself, something so myseterious and versitile to them
