Mask or man:
Who am I when we meet?
Am I revealed
Or only someone you need me to be?

Do you love
Or do you deceive?
Draw me slowly into your subtle endeavor

And entice me with your strategies?
I will be yours in the moment of your need.

Will you love me
Or use me and cast me away
When your need is spent?

Is this real
A truth for me?
Or am I only another body
Feeding your vanity?
I am a person, you know,
A person, just like you.
See me this way if only for a moment

Before you go.
Even if you didn’t care,
I did.
