Behind the Mask

source

Behind the mask of her soul,

Lies a heart of gold,

A love of the finer things,

Of silver, of satin and lace,

Of crystal and the pegasus white.

An angel of the night,

Writing the music of a dream.

Behind the power and wisdom,

Lies a little girl with a tear,

And a fantasy that would encompass,

A world of painless glory,

Of a princess and a knight,

On a fine white horse.

Ruling the land of their dreams.

Forever loyal to her cause,

Forever lonely in her heart.

She wanders into the night alone once more,

Never to let go of that little girl,

Or the dreams in her soul,

Behind the mask.
