Sitting in a dark distant place
With nothing but a carved false, face
A mask I wore to keep everyone away
But a man I met today
A man who I wished to stay
A candle light in a darkness to thick to break
A man who turned out to be a wooden stake
A death to a vampire’s heart
Afraid and weary from the start
I pursued this feeling despite the fear
Wishing to keep this man near
I crumbled and fell
Heart filled words I’ll spill and tell
For a forbidden feeling has just been felt
In a puddle of pain and uncertainty I melt
A small melting candle to keep me sane
To keep my cold body warm with its flame
My mask I lay upon the ground
Hesitant but hoping a true person I have found
In a world full of fakes
And soulless mistakes
I reach to a heart that can maybe make mine beat
And am shunned away in a careless defeat
A closeness I wished to keep
Eyes that have now begun to weep
Even if not for a lover
But why not for to have but another
A dimming wick in a puddle of melted wax
Is all that is left to see my face
Before my mask is back…
