The Black Mask Of Love


Black mask on!
white’s aglow
familiar yet still unknown

black mask on!
scars concealed,
skin forever sealed from view

loving me is like suicide
slowly drains the life in you
loving me is like suicide
you’ll feel trapped; you’ll feel lost
and soon… there’ll be nothing left of you

Black mask on!
chamber’s spun
rotates until
the last shell’s won,
the end’s revealed

Black mask on!
slipping away
faceless seems like everyday
all that you’ve done, so little won
for a love grown stale, the mirror tells the truest tale

loving me is like suicide
you ignore the signs; you pray instead of run
loving me is like suicide
without knowing the how, where and when

Black mask on!
pressed to skin
asphyxiation
cutting deep within

Black mask on!
dreaming upon anything
preying upon everyone
wishing…for only all of this to end

loving me is like suicide
Mercury or heroine
tracts to arm
to fuel the spark
needed to let this love survive

Black mask on!
searching for
meanings that just aren’t there

loving me is like suicide
first you love and then you die
loving me is never right
only darkness, never light

Black mask on!
seeking high and searching for
locked doors you’ll never find 

loving me is like suicide
craving deeply loves embrace
loving me is like suicide
in spite of knowing it all will be erased

Black mask on!

  2. I'm thinking that's for sure a song.

    And maybe the night sky is a black mask with holes poked all through it.

  3. a lot of people could relate to "loving me is like suicide" line. but when you come down to it, you really don't love that person, it's just some sort of co-dependency!

  4. These ones are so fun to read, as you just break them up so well that they flow. Although yes a bit dark and dreary and maybe a tad suicidal, so best avoid any tall buildings for a while..LOL...thing we've all hoped that black mask would help as we ignored the signs it wouldn't work, surely isn't a perk.

  5. the black mask itself is nice...symbolic...my love like suicide is a haunting refrain as well...i like the dark though man...i write some longer horror fiction as well just to get it out...this was really good...

  6. Interesting. It seems the black mask could be on either party.

    "you ignore the signs; you pray instead of run"

    The perils of holding on to hope, I guess.
