Memories and Masquerades

The mask we wear is our open secret
Told to two in an hour broken and let
Wake up! Wake up! The mind from sleep…
Find a befitting noise that’s deep.
Weep not for pictures that will disappear
Wake up! Let us remember to meet here.

The past i recall is another day
The fire to burn amiss the stead away
One more! One more! One more to go!
One night for the masquerade show!
You will come back empty, you’d come back strong!
One more! And these nightmares won’t get along!

There’s one in the mirror and one here too
A maze full of horror, table for two
Get out! Get out! Find a safe place!
Dare not look this fix in the face!
One is a monster and one is a beast
Get out! Do not be a part of the feast!

Leonell.
