The Mask

This one is about masks in relationships. It's up to your interpretation too as to what exactly "the mask" is in some complicated relationships...

Please, don’t speak; be quiet  

Walk by my side  

Listen to our sauntering footsteps 

Playing a beautiful steady rhythm  

Reminding me of your presence 

 

Please, don’t take off your mask 

Let me look intently at your big beautiful eyes 

Warm and caring 

Never will I ever want to uncover your mask 

As I fear you would look different  

No longer gentle and attractive 

 

Please, let this stroll mask our relationship  

Don’t tell me how you feel about me 

Let’s worry about nothing 

No commitment 

No wrong or right 

You are my special one at this moment  

Which a mask does not make any difference

oh wow, that poem gets to me. It shows that the narrative voice is at loss. I don't know if it's autobiographical, but if it is, then you really anticipate a never bonding. :D
