"BEHIND HIS MASK"

Written 2018-07-06

He’s a fairy tale come true

a prince charming, only for you

The sunny days with him

have kept you from going grim

You believe he’s a soulmate

Both of you, together by fate

all full of love, no hate

Isn’t it great?

I’d like to believe that it’s no lie

I hope he’ll never ever make you cry

but I’ve been a witness to his ‘other side’

Believe me, girl, it ain’t right

I wish I could tell you

No idea what to do

For your sake, I hope he’s changed

and become your better man

However, I’m afraid

You may not be prepared

if one day,

he’ll have had enough of the charade

Be ready once you see

that it won’t last

when the real beast is revelaed

underneath his handsome mask
