MASQURADE
We are drawn to folks they attract us immensely by who they are
We are bonded to others that leave a lasting impression on us
They show us in little caring gestures and make us feel special in every way
When out of the blue they move out of our life a pall sets in and looms large over all we think and do
On days the impact permeate every pore we find it hard to shake the thoughts and wear the normal mask and move about
There are days they make way for us to carve fresh memories and forge ties
The intense gloom and despair fog our vision and cloud our consciousness
We long to bawl and share our grief to vent what weighs so heavily within
When all we have in children for company we are wary not to distress them with our pain
We mask our pain paint a smile don the goofy act and move about in pain
