dance with me a little while
until we find a smile
hiding under the mask over your face
this is a disgrace
why do you keep
your beauty confined
in the recesses of you mind
safe you say
you keep it safe
dont you know
what never sees the light of day
dies and becomes as the dark
you are too young to hold an entire night within you
let it show
your old soul is strong enough
to fend of the hunters
run into the woods
and hide among the leaves
if you have to
but please dont become like the night
offering nothing but the chill of moonlight
