Paper Faces

by Corina   May 18, 2006


I'll hide mine if you hide yours
These faces that we detest

I love you but
I don't love me

Hiding behind paper faces
I feel that I'm safe

But one day I want to know your face
Look into your eyes

One day
When I feel safe
I'll take off the mask
And look into my face

    Hey, you're new to this thing like me! Only you're much better than I am and technically I've been writing for yonks so that makes it even worse! This is a great poem, sorry, I like the word great! But seriously, it's brilliant and I especially like the last stanza:
    'One day
    When I feel safe
    I'll take off my mask
    And look into my face.'
