Shadows of a Forgotten Dance

You were disguised
In hopes that I would see your soul
What you forgot was that
I had already seen
A piece of that gentleness

A piece of your reflection
Wasn’t hard to decipher
Through the walls
Feeling your innermost presence
Was the easy part

I’m not sure why you chose
To hide yourself
Did you think I wouldn’t know
That I wouldn’t open up
That I wouldn’t show you the same
Set of understanding eyes

Perhaps you were right
Our real life roles
Dictated otherwise

Now we’re here
Still communicating behind walls
This time without the masks
That were never truly there

Our souls saw through them at the time
Our souls were those masks
Expressing their innermost presence
