Take Off Your Mask

Take off your mask,

love,

and show me who you are.

Your angel,

your obsession,

longs to see your face so much,

so why hide?

Why shy away from the light,

a divine glory that binds so many?

I have entertained so many thoughts of someone handsome,

a beautiful face to match an unearthly voice,

a voice which leaves me spellbound every blessed time

it reaches my unworthy ears.

With your black cape, mask,

and menacing facade,

you have been seemingly drawn into obscurity.

You are a chameleon,

a heavenly genius,

with a reason for your isolation,

but I have found none.

You tell me I shall never see your face,

but as I have hope within me,

burning brilliantly,

I shall never give up.

So take off your mask,

love,

and show me who you are.
