My sins.

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.
