world full of masks

5/22/2019

i fall in love too easily.
never show me any vulnerability--
i love souls too much to be exposed to something like that.
please don’t show me who you really are,
unless you plan on loving me back.
we live in a world full of masks,
please don’t remove yours
unless you want me to fall in love.
you see, your beauty radiates through the side
of the mask you display to the world.
i can already see the potential of who you can be,
but i swear if i see the whole thing
i will fall madly and irreversibly in love.
please fake it like the rest of the puppets walking around,
or else i won’t be able to stop myself.
we all live in fear that if our deepest thoughts
were leaked into the world
we could never be loved.
but i promise you this one thing:
every soul deserves love.
even though the world says to hide it--
don’t.
but i warn you,
if you take off that mask
and become who you truly are
i will not be able to prevent myself
from falling in love.
