Feelings that I hide

I feel my skin burning with the fire of your gaze
 Every time you look at me, I'm lost in a daze
 I can't breathe, my chest tightens with desire
 But I know I have to hide it, pretend I'm not on fire
 
 I want to vanish from your sight, disappear without a trace
 I don a mask to hide my true feelings, to save face
 I can't bear to show you the wounds you've inflicted
 The scars you've left with your harsh words, so conflicted
 
 You don't see the pain you've caused, the damage done
 You only see what you want to see, not the hurt I've spun
 I keep my distance, keep my emotions in check
 But every time you're near, my resolve is a wreck
 
 I try to push you away, to forget the way you make me feel
 But deep down, I know the truth, my heart you've sealed
 I'll keep wearing my mask, hiding my scars from you
 But deep down, I know the truth, my feelings are true
