Unmask My Pain

You wonder why I'm pale
Why I share no smile
Why I've become a sorry tale
A personality defiled

It was a quirk of fate
That resulted from a choice
To find a soul to mate
Now I can't rejoice

My hitherto smiles have faded
Strength and courage gone
My emotional being is raided
My defences are torn

So I found a friend in you
A perfect one to keep
But you've broken my heart in two
So secretly I weep

And hid the pain away
So far so you won't see
Be it night or day
The hurt you did to me

Hoping we'd find our way
To how it was before
Hoping each time I pray
But it's not working anymore

So I unmask my pain
Tonight I must let it go
Won't hold them in again
Just thought I let you know

To let you know I'm here
With hopes that isn't dead
Intact in love and care
For you're still precious in my head
