"Anteroom of Masks"
9/10/03
Hung on the wall
Strewn on the floor
The one you seek
Lives here no more

A house of masks
Like a house of cards
Like tiney casks
to die in

Are you angry that you didn't know her?
Are you angry that she turned away?
Are you angry that you could not show her?
She didn't have to run away

You step inside
Despite the warnings
You look around and see
Of all the masks
You regocnize so many
That you though were she

It's sad
Will they regret
That they never knew her
It's bad
Will you regret
That you ever loved her

Wood
Clay
And porcelain
Which one did she wear?
Are you looking for
The one she wore
When she told you that she loved you

Where is she now?
Where did she run?
Why did she go now?
Do these questions even matter?

Leave
This house of masks
Before it sucks you in
Leave
Those tiney casks
That the last of her died in

Hung on the wall
Strewn on the floor
The one you seek
Lives here no more
