Poem-Falling in Love Behind a Mask by: Alice Land (me)

Inspired by:
All the Right Moves- One Republic
Chandelier- Sia


I have this feeling in my chest,
it beats in a way that I can faintly remember.
Please don't tell me-
Don't tell me I'm falling in love.
I only know you from behind a mask, (who are you?)
Remove that mask (but you're too far away.)
Is this all real?
Is it a fairy tale?
Am I going to die?
Is it going to end in never after after?
I have this feeling in my chest.
It beats in a way that I can faintly remember.
Please don't tell-
don't tell-
don't tell-
tell-
tell me I'm falling in love.
Masquerade!
We're all dancing in the masquerade.
I just want to believe (but I'm afraid)
I don't want to feel this feeling. (because I fear for my heart)
Please make my heart stop beating like this.
Maybe I'm too easy, but I just want to live a fairy tale,
but I'm so afraid with everybody wearing a mask.
I have this feeling in my chest.
it beats in way that I can faintly remember.
please don't tell me this is love.
please don't-
say I'm falling in love.
If I fall, I wonder if-
If this would be a happy ending
or my last dying breath.
[Sound: heart beat]
