Masked

I see through that veil of yours,
running down is a drop of tear!
Back then were my hands tied
My answer to you was just a void.

I see you again through that veil
You seem to look more than pale.
Now I offer you any help
You reject outright, hiding your self!

I know what I saw
There wasn't any flaw.
Yet I respect your dignity;
Your right to privacy.

I see you now, with that mask
' Was anything ever wrong ', I ask
Now, I smile along with you
for, I've masked myself too!

And then I would start singing instead of talking normal and would it be the end of world or return of old civilization? ;)

Biju, Anu... you guys just encourage me a lot! Thanks a ton :)

Skely, I'm honoured to have written something that you could find so amazing! :P

Prof! You're ALIVE!!! :O
I got that creative idea from the very creation of the mask which is intended to create privacy and that concludes that there is nothing creative about it! Oh, I'm self impressed!!

Amrita, Nice to see you around. "mystical"... I loved that, thanks!! :)
Expect me peeping into your blog soon.
