everyone was wearing a mask
dancing to the tunes
celebrating anonymity
enjoying the freedom of being unknown
drinking under the bright neon lights.

there you are, said a familiar voice,
A friend.
She smiled, i smiled back.
Suddenly a plunge to my heart.
i was bleeding,
breaking, hurt.

her mask fell off,
no her face fell off,
i couldn't tell.
i saw my foe.
behind the face of a beautiful friend lay my greatest enemy.

i was bleeding breaking,
hurt.
