BENEATH MY MASK

BENEATH MY MASK


You are unhappy with me
That my love I don’t show
And never promise to you,
I will not let you go.

You wish I admire your eyes
And say they are like pearls.
You would love my saying that
Your lips are like petals.

You are angry with me since
I don’t show what I feel
And that my innermost thoughts
To you I don’t reveal.

You say I am too quiet
And am often distraught.
You feel I’m lost in my world
And do not share my thought.

My Love, there is none but you
Whom I love or have loved.
Feelings of my love for you,
I’ve kept rather reserved.

Those feelings are my treasure,
They’re too close to my chest.
I do’nt want to lose them, so
I guard them to my best.

I’m afraid of the day when,
Away from your caress,
I’m without your support in
A life of wilderness.
