Masked Masquerades

Today I saw
Watched and really saw
How many different faces
converted meaningless existence
into forbidden joy
But is that happiness real?
I sit alone
lost in thought
And wonder....
How much is real
And how much playactin?
Just for Fun
we barter secrets
selling our souls
To those we barely know
Cautiously at first
Reserve fast flees
Leaving boldness in her wake
We chance it
Open our hearts
Please read the sign
carefully
Once broken
T'will be hard to mend
