Something pretty; undefined
Lips of glue
[secrets told to no one]
Eyes hidden behind glittery mask
[tears... fake or not... I wonder...]
I remember the face behind the mask
so beautiful... so handsome
Where did it go?
[vanished]
I'm tired of the lies!
......the deceit........
I have asked once
When you will show your true face again
You never answered
So I will stare at your pretty mask
With your lips of glue
Spilling sticky lies
Like sap from a tree
....and hope........
..........maybe someday......
................you'll return..........

This may have been inspired by a picture, but I can see how this can be anyone's life when trying to deal with a partner not wanting to be honest. I want to thank you for your entry into the following contest: "Already On My Favorites."

PS: Your entry has been blessed by the three wise clappers, but don't spend the whole nine points in one place(lol)!

You leave quite a bit for the reader to think upon. It could be words of finding self or that of a lost love. Either way you definitely spawned an excellent piece and found it a delight to read, thank you for entering and best of luck
