The contradiction of the mask

The misconception of depth
Portrayed day by day
Allows for a pretty mask
To hide behind...
Those flowing words
And smiling eyes
Hide an emptiness
Beneath a concrete floor...
A cavern lacking the courage
To create an echo
Padded walls
Concealing a trapped mind
Pleading for emancipation
To be free to contaminate
The world with this ugliness
Drowning within the shallows
Behind the abyss...
The mask remains tight
The Sheltering chasm
Keeping this monstrosity safe...

Just wondering...

Listening to love songs,
Some old and some new,
Wondering if there's anyone out there
Who wonders about me
When the lyrics dance across the air
And the words are sung from the heart?

Is there a special someone
Lurking somewhere in the sideline
Who is too afraid to come forward
But is silently wondering
How good we would be together?

Or am I  destined to be
Forever alone
Roaming the great big world
Wondering
Wandering
Seeking true love
But finding
Only pain?
