love in Disguise

I hide my flaws behind a smile, Just to feel your gaze a while. I'm a monster, lost in light, Blinded by love, suppressing the bite. I pray I never lose control, Afraid to break what makes me whole. If only you could truly see— The storm slowly swallows me. I’m danger wrapped in tender skin, With terror clawing deep within. I dread the way your soft eyes shine, They stir the beast I try to bind. One look from you—I come undone, The war inside me can’t be won. So I’ll disguise, I’ll play my part, To keep from tearing you apart.
