The Mask

Put on the mask

Know the right words

An instant of storm

Bound up in the calm


No one can hear

No one can see

Build up the walls

That conceal the dim flame


Laugh on the tongue

Tears in the eyes

A moment of broken

Turns back to brand-new


She fashions a mask

She knows the right words

The storm in her heart

Gone cold in the calm
