Masked Poem by Nina Salazar

I’m watching you fall into pieces,
When the pain just never ceases,
Worse than any wound before,
I don’t understand why they all ignore.

You say I’m the only one who cares,
but I’m the only one that dares,
to ask what’s wrong, to say,
I’m here every step of the way.

I understand how you feel,
You have to try to move on, just let the wound heal,
There’s but one thing I ask,
Why are you so hard to unmask?
