My mask

I keep waiting for you to come,
To come after me now that I'm gone,

But you love your pride more than me,
I've betrayed you is what you see.

Open you eyes and maybe you'd find,
I'm only gone because your not mine.

Though hate may show, it's just a mask,
I'd come back to you if you'd only ask.

Friendship with you was only pain,
It was your affection I was trying to gain.

But now all I want is for you to care,
But you don't even care that I'm not there.

You see my mask, it's only lying,
Underneath my heart is crying.

You have a mask. I know it's true,
Underneath are you crying too?

Is she so much better then me that I fade away?
I'm gone, but you have her so it's ok?

You don't love me and that much I can take,
But without you at all I feel I might break.

But my mask is my protector in a world of pain,
I'll pretend I don't care to spare myself shame.

Come after me my friend and stop this war,
Until then I'll have to lock my heart's door.

You love your pride? I love mine too.
I'd rather suffer than crawl back to you.

You think you're strong? Well so is my mask.
My heart may feel weak, but I'm up for this task.

Call me weak! I'll still survive.
My mask is my life support, it'll keep me alive.

It's true my mask is also pride too,
But I need my mask. I don't need you.

But I want you here, so come get me please,
I've given for you, now give some for me.

I've forsaken my mask a lot. I've let it burn,
But this time my mask says it's has to be your turn.

Come get me soon. Do not wait to long,
If you wait too much longer I just might be gone.

I love you yes, but I love my mask to,
And I need my mask. I don't need you.

Come after me my friend and stop this war,
Until then I'll have to lock my heart's door.

I love you yes, but I love my mask to,
And I need my mask. I don't need you.
