The Masquerade Poem by Baby Blue

There you where just sitting across the room
watching my every laugh, every glance, my every move.
all i see on this dance floor is your beautiful mask.
i dont know who you are, nor the thoughts you want to ask
but i do know for some reason, i want to be with you
i want to see if this thing can last, if it is true.

tonight will be the night that i can be something new
for i too am hidden behind this mask, hiding a painful tear
and you dont know who i am, for if you knew
i know you wouldnt dare come near.
i once knew this person that i am tonight.
ive been lost and hating what ive become
the true me has been far out of sight.
but tonight i have a chance to be the one
the one that ive waited so patiently for
the real me.

you made your way across to me, standing so close.
i see your beautiful captivating eyes
that have enticed my every thought.
your hand...so soft on the small of my back
as you lean in to kiss me, your lips
tender as a butterfly....oh my!

my heart just skipped a beat,
for i have realized whos eyes are behind this mask
that ive been staring so deeply into.
if only you knew how hard this is for me,
because you are the one that caused me to wear this mask.
