theatrics and icy demeanors

25 4 12
                                    

He walked through the door
Different than before
Cracked without his mask
The actor, unable to act

He is beautiful, still
Perched on the windowsill
But he is afraid of being broken
So we leave it all unspoken

Outside it is snows
And suddenly, I think he knows
How it was for me
When I woke and his bed was  empty

I almost call his name
I almost take his hand
I almost tell him, right then
So that he could understand

But I was never brave
So I watch him fall apart
In the silent night
Too afraid to bear my heart
