The Two Sides of a Mask

I will crawl inside you and wear you as my mask I will live life through you and do anything you ask You will only trust me I'll be everything you need And if some day your hurt its me that will bleed I will be the ending of everything you are I will stand strong in you as you slowly fall apart I will completely change you into what I want to see And fight to stay within you when you try to free yourself of me I am the mask you hid behind but the one you chose to wear And when you look into your eyes you'll see my empty stares Hopeless sounds you'll scream out loud as your bodies froze in place And the mirror crashes to the ground as a smile contorts your face A mangled soul behind the mask the one I claimed to be Has now become what I crawled into your now inside of me

There are no words to describe how beautifully you were able to put this pain into words. This is phenomenal, and so well written.

I really loved this. I like your prose, you're so bare. It's like slowly pressing a raw nerve, and hits deep.
