secrets

remembering promises
never to come true
i sit here alone
wishing for you

time is so unkind
and life so unfair
the tears in my eyes
make vision unclear

where am i going
and why am i here
what am i thinking
what do i hear

lies so common
inside my mind
time never changes
this desire of mine

i'd said that i'd never
trust you again
i'd not be foolish
i didn't need friends

i am alone now
and happy it seems
faces lie so easily
unhindered by masks

looking into my eyes
my feelings you'd see
and love me; maybe

but i'll never know
because they'll never show
the secrets this mask hides.
