tone deaf

my heart
is too tone deaf
to hear the
music in its own voice
tucked safely behind
these words I've
always used as a mask
to restrain the parts of my
psyche that hide only
in plain sight
tantalizing you into thinking
I am as close as
a feeling you have inside you
when real is as far away
as the sky
