Mask Poem by robin machorro

I have heard this many times before
trust is the key to life, its the key to God
but friend, how can I trust you
when all you shown me was pain
thats the only thing you let me feel
I go to you, because I rely on you, and no one else
you come to me with your problems, because you want
to feel loved
my pain to you is nothing but 'selfish'
your pain to me is something you need to let out

I have heard this many times before
promises is something that helps people trust
but friend, how can you make a promise to me
when your words of 'love' had no meaning
I guess this is the real you that you shown me,
you make a promise to me to put up this so called beautiful show
with this ugly mask of yours
I make a promise to you because you mean a lot to me,
and i love you
your promises to me is nothing but fake
my promises to you is something called bliss
