Zutara Week: Masks (Is It You)

closed up and curled
safe behind the
comfort of coverings

watching the world
but you never
let them see anything

we hide our hearts
wrap them up in
silence and sew them shut

but in the dark
I can feel the
moment our shadows touch

and is it you
I'm falling for
underneath that painted paper face
and if we knew
who we really were
would it be the same
would it be the same

inside our chests
singing out the
music and mystery

so intimate
the details that our
tangled disguises keep

and is it you
I'm falling for
underneath that painted paper face
and if we knew
who we really were
would it be the same
would it be the same

could we slide these secrets
over just a bit
over just a bit
lift up our masks
just enough to kiss
just enough to...

and is it you
I'm falling for
underneath that painted paper face
and if we knew
who we really were
would it be the same
would it be the same
