Why do you have to be
So god damn wonderful?
Why does your laugh
Fill the room?
Why do your eyes
Have to glisten
Brighter than long-lost jewels
Of a tomb?
Why do you have to be
So ever nice to me?
Why do I pass the while
Just to make you smile?
Why do I have to wear
A mask you'll never see?
Why can't I never
ever be me?
Why can't I serve my heart
On Ammit's platter?
I wish I didn't have to hide
But, to you, nothing's the matter
