I'm sorry for my sins,
But they are what make me.
I'm sorry for my emotionless mask,
But I can't just discard it.
It is a part of me,
A shield against my foes.
--------------------------
I know it's hard,
But please forgive me.
If you could see my side,
Maybe you'd understand.
Why I'm so distant
And why I'm guarding my soul.
----------------------------
Can you see the cracks?
Am I making them?
They run along the floor between us,
Silent and stealthy.
We're inches apart,
Yet we're on different continents.
---------------------------------
I tried to give you my soul,
But you refused to take it.
I can hardly blame you,
Who would want such a hideous soul?
So disfigured by the emotions that corrupt,
A simple price for my sins.
