Your Pretty Mask

There are a lot of masks we make 

Worn with the different costumes

To match the events that day

Stripped off at night and dropped carelessly on the floor

Easily replaced tomorrow

People you meet are drawn in

By the pretty details that you so carefully

Drew on your pretty mask

Your sad eyes peer through

Spaces meant for happier things

But people only see

Your pretty mask

To match your pretty costume

Thrown carelessly on the floor
