Golden Mask
I look into my mask and I
Picture the grave, where my body lies.
I look into my mask and cry
Reminded of the day I died.
This mask, crafted in the finest gold
Reminds me of the days of old-
A face as smooth as a baby, taking its first breath
Marred by the ominous acts of death.
A body of beauty which caught many a gaze
Reduced to naught but a ghostly haze.
I look into my mask and I
Remember clearly my demise.
I look into my mask and cry
Reminded of the day I died.
What seemed like a perfect life…
Suddenly razed with horrid strife.
Father was always a wonderful fellow…
Always happy and always mellow.
But when Father came home from a late night in town
and his sweet smile melted into a frown
and his drunken slurs became violent roars…
he approached me.
I look into my mask and I
Picture the grave, where my dead body lies.
I look into my mask and cry.
Reminded of the day I died,
I look into my mask…and cry.
A/N: I do hope this was enjoyable, but always feel free to flame if it wasn't ! Thanks for reading!
I will admit that I used 'Rhymezone' to find rhymes for 'breath' and 'haze'. Sorry if that annoyed any of you. :)
