The Mask (revisited)

I have a mask of frozen flesh

My features stiff and cold

Petrified by pain and loss

Lovers lost, new and old

I hide behind this bitter mask

That covers up my tortured soul

Forever bound by guilt and shame

A terror Dark and black as coal

In my hand I hold a heart

Burnt and scarred by careless night

Sheltered from my deadly storm

Protected from my poison blight

My eyes are scorched by passions fire

And blinded by a burning light

That whispers of your velvet touch

And steals away my sight

A withered husk of human waste

A broken shell of screaming fear

No gentle heart to take my hand

No caring eyes to shed a tear

Consumed by your uncaring smile

My body turns to ash and rust

 brushed aside by bitter words

 and left to vanish with the dust
