Behind a Mask

His face is hidden behind a mask

But why no one dares to ask

Loved by no one, hated by all

Its no wonder why he chose to himself withdraw

His deformity ruined his life

And it seems as if its been nothing but strife

Of music his knowledge is quite vast

Perhaps because it consumed his past

She who he adored didn't feel the same

And now he can't even bear to speak her name

Present and future to him around her revolve

But could her love for another change his resolve?

He was convinced they were meant to be

And hoped one day she would see

Even after she married another man

He waited and kept himself close at hand

He would love her until his last breath

But is it true love, even in death?
