A Game Of Charade

I put on a face fore I depart
dazzling and highly smart

---

Fitting for my daily task
I hide behind a timid mask

---

Smiling, crying or any expression
I have one for each occasion

---

Which mimics feelings so sincere
in place of those I lack severe

---

After the days' charade I return and light a candle
as I take off my mask and place it on the mantle

---

In the mask is a reflection causing me to stare
as I see the face of a man, that's no longer there
