The Mask That Fell Off!

I saw love in your eyes

I saw the warmth,

The flamboyant smiles.

I saw the care in your heart

I saw the fear,

The painful pleasure.

I saw the truth in your soul

I saw the honesty,

The serene simplicity.

And then one day I saw the true colors

I saw the wild lies

I saw the raging rashness

And I saw the youthful odium.

Now what do I presume?

Which colors do I assume?

What is right?

What is wrong?

I lost faith in myself

While you, shook me to my inner essential.

Was I wrong before?

Am I wrong now?

Were you so good in representing?

Or am I so bad in arbitrating?

Am I so inanely innocuous?

Or you are just astonishingly facetious?

I though I saw love

I though I saw scrupulousness

But in a flick, one day

The mask fell off

And I didn’t know

What to believe in!

Stop searching for emotions……..it’s a mask not a face……there’s nothing wrong in wearing the mask……But, make sure it doesn’t fall off…….

Firm believer that if its not meant to be….it won’t be. Maybe the guy was meant to be. But the pain he caused, God will make up for it.

Lovely lines.. I wear a mask sometimes and sometimes I don’t. Depends on the person on front of me.
Well I have to, otherwise I would be hurt always

  That’s a sure way of looking at it. Masks are fine unless it isn’t hurting anyone. But otherwise it’s a big facade!

    Yes… In life facades are needed… Can’t always be honest and vulnerable… That’s asking for world of hurt. It all depends on situations

At times very difficult to make that out….and if and when it falls off, it completely shatters us!

Shuttling from one identity to another, and that’s so natural!! 🙂

It is good that the mask fell off, though it hurts it gives the clarity.

  Well, I guess these days the mask is not biased of a person’s gender.
