Eyes look but are unable to see
Incapable of piercing through
The world around is oblivious
To what harbours deep within
My body functions as a mask
My real life stirs inside
My emotions are imprisoned
They cannot find escape
What lies beyond the naked eye
Is true love there contained
Two of me are in this world
One lives in public eyes
Projection of my outer self
Alien and wild
Strange hands she holds
Smooth skin she strokes
Runs fingers through soft hair
Her lips move gently
Whispers nothings
Setting hearts on fire
Warm kisses tickle
Tender mouths
warm bodies by her side
With every stroke
With every touch
Her world seems real
She thinks she feels desire
Invisibly to loving eyes
As human as she seems
A secret that she won't reveal
They leave her cold as ice
A block of ice that will not melt
For beauty or for charm
Not all the kisses in the world
Can make the inside warm
The truth is lies
Deceives herself
Her body far detached
From what lies dormantly
Behind the mask
At depth within the heart
The inner self beyond control
Was frozen solid cold
The day you left
My one true love
For you the torch I hold
My other life
My other me
Everything I do
Is but a lie
For what I feel
I feel only for you
Words may keep me company
Flatter, stroke my soul
Alas no other
only you
Could ever make me whole
Aching heart
Deceive myself
As long as we're apart
Until the day you will return
And melt my frozen heart
