Behind that Mask

by FallenInnocence66

"Don't judge the book by its cover". That's the lesson that the narrator who is my OC in DGM in this poem learned after hearing Allen's past.

Behind That "Mask"

You never showed me a face

That can't cheer up a sad child

You always treat me like a child

Who needs love and comfort every time

You were always here beside me

To brighten up my darkest night

You thought of me as a friend

A person who will always be there to support you

A person who will have faith in you despite of the evidences that proves you wrong

We thought of each other as friends

Smiling and laughing together in triumphs

Crying and holding onto each other in the midst of hardships

I was once your friend

Until I've seen that mask of yours

A mask that speaks about the tears of blood you've shed

Without me doing anything to stop that pain

That pain of yours that almost crushed you to the ground

And despite that, you still cared about others

I thought of myself as your friend

Until the day I saw what's behind that mask of yours

The person I saw behind that mask was a stranger

Someone who I don't know

But, why is it that,

When you wear that mask, I see you as you?

Now, I sit in a corner, with tears rolling down my cheeks

Thinking of myself such an unworthy person to be called your friend

That can't even notice you without that mask on your face

That can't even help you carry that huge pain you're carrying

That can't stop those overflowing tears

That can't even make you feel that you're loved by somebody

But, as I sob in the corner in hurt and in regret,

You came and touched my cheeks with your caring hands

And you held me into those warm and gentle arms of yours

Comforting me and once again, you stopped these tears of mine,

But, this time, you made me feel that I was loved

By you, without wearing that painful mask.
