Love Poem: Masks

Masks

Very calmly I wait for you to see me.
Not the person I was but what I have become.
I fight the dreams that haunt me.
Nothing else really matters at all.

I wear a mask of passion. 
You are all that I think of.
Every little touch I crave,
causes my blood to surge.

I wear a mask of devotion.
You know I have your back.
I want to hold you when you cry.
letting you know everything will be alright .

I wear a mask of romance.
Showering you with love and hope.
Affection from tiny little kisses.
Love notes that are sent with love.

I wear a mask of timidness.
You are much braver than me.
I want to run away and hide.
Whenever you whisper my name.

I also wear a mask of insecurity.
You must scale the walls in place.
I am locked in a high tower alone,
with fierce dragons breathing fire.

Sometimes you say I hide, 
behind these masks from you.
Truth is I am waiting for you to see,
my masks keep me forever true.
