faceless


same old tears
cutting new paths
down that weary face…
dancing brutally with fears
of an everlasting past..

tears must fade away,
I ran out of faces…
they cannot stay,
for a faceless me…

for bright suns I reach out,
to save me from you…
my faceless self cries,
knowing it’s true:
my suns have failed me…

no one could have said it better :)

your "Faceless" is an amazing piece, it sorta reminded me of...

"Those who curse their look with too many faces,
The mask I wear is one." -Sting, A Thousand Years.

wow ! this is the best i read from you so far :)

the last scene is amazing !!
it reminded me of Gibran Khalil Gibran!
when the people had stolen all his seven masks, then he realized that he fell in love with the sun and wants nothing more!

reem reem
for those faces
i see none of you
i see beauty in your hiding face
beautiful fear
beautiful paths
run run
do not hide
your beautiful mask
come to me
and give it to me
i will meet you
wearing your abandoned face

(sorry i couldn't help it, you gave me an impulse)
