Masquerade....

My latest today.Do check out...
A poetry piece on the act of covering up the real emotions of life; of the pretentious facet of our life...
Dedicated to all those who do so....

Even memories now, start to vanish;

Only faint shadows of you now play

In the mind; you have left me a while ago,

But the heart was for long away;

Just a cold face was there; to greet

Me/ in the morning with fake smiles.

Or was it just a pretentious mask,

I wonder how we walked all this miles.

Hand in hand, all we shared;

All a lie, everything you said…

I trusted you, or maybe the mask;

All my life was a masquerade.

I walk back, slowly turn;

To memory lane, I return.

I look back, all looks cursed;

Distance crossed, paths traversed.

I find myself, all sad and lost

Among the crowds, cheery faces host.

I realize the pain hidden;

I discover the mask again.

I see you coming, I am scared to fall

Past experiences, warnings call.

So I too put a mask on face;

Like a cold veil, expressions lost in maze.

 I used to think, why the world looked aloof?

But now being alive is a different state.

Hereafter I realize I was left out;

This whole world has been a masquerade.

Hope you connected with it..

Untill next time...
