Dark Heart

You approached with face covered
Displaying an attractive innocence
Little did I know
You'd made a deal with the Devil
To bury your true identity
To conceal your evil mind
To make the world love you.

But the Devil has a funny way
Of tearing out your heart
And revealing who you truly are
He doesn't keep his word
The mask was torn off
You become the vicious monster
No one knew before
Layered under piles of lies
Stitched perfectly to your cheeks
By Satan himself.

Perhaps one day you will beg
For that mask to be returned
To once again pretend
You're what you are not
But for now you're under a spell
Proud and unashamed
Of your naked face
Whispers in your ears tell you
The mask is still there
While the world watches
And sees a very transparent case.

What a great poem, very deep in my opinion, he has to hide his face with his mask, thanks for sharing.

Interesting piece.. makes you wonder what they had to do to actually get the mask to start with. Nicely done my friend.

Have a great day/evening. 😃
