Masquerading

Look into her eyes
She's pleading
Internally bleeding
In her heart is where it lies
A gaping unstitchable wound

Inside her eyes
Her dark brown eyes
Erratic colors underlie
Colors of despair
Colors of insanity
Colors of ultimate pain
The ugly hue of burning blood

She's trying to push it back
Covering with an unfeeling mask
a cheap plastic facade
For this is her endless masquarade

She wants you to see
The woman underneath
But her skin has become the mask
Her only protection
Has become her only enemy,
and Dark brown eyes her only truth.
