LYRIC FOR SALE

By Ellemo

A message on an ordinary day.
Reaching me from far away
Could we talk just me and you
I didn't know where that would lead to.

Morning texts and mid-day dreams,
Your “Hey dear” message lights the screen

You showed me warmth, then faded fast
Still, I saw behind the mask.

I told my truths, you withheld yours
Your soul locked up behind steal doors
You were guarded, I was open wide,
But then you revealed what lives inside

You showed me warmth, then drifted past,
Beauty lies behind the mask.

Now your silence fills the space,
Where laughter used to be.
I scroll through words and memories,
No heartbreak, just pure beauty.

We all wear masks to guard the pain,
To love, to lose, to start again.
And though your light didn’t last,
My heart knew yours behind the mask

Some stories don’t need an end
Just fade like sunlight round the bend.
But every time I remember the past,
I see your love… behind the mask.
