I Apologize For The Inconvenience

I apologize for the inconvenience
Of having to pretend
In the end
That there was more
That it wasn't empty

Your true colors
Shades of black and bitch
The proverbial itch
I need to scratch
Off, out, away

I'm cold
But not from that
Cause of the fact
That the hand I needed to hold
Was hollow

Take your time
Get rest
That acting took your best
It was convincing
Award worthy even

I'm hurt
Body sore
Picking myself up off the floor
Bumping into things
With my eyes closed

I apologize for the inconvenience
