I was once sad and lonely,
Having nobody to comfort me,
So I wore a mask that always smiled,
To hide my feelings behind a lie.

I am one of many
Small branches of a broken tree,
Always looking to the ones above

The sparkle in your eye,
The warmth of your skin,
Your breath on my neck
That shakes me within.
