"Shadows"

The sequins, the glamour

The look she will hide

The sorrowful shadows

Of tears she has cried

She masks now he moment

Her fears hidden deep

For those who are watching

Will not see her weep

But glance at her center

The core of her heart

You'll gaze upon heartache

That does not depart
