Pardon me if I seem distant
Forgive me if I don’t respond
Excuse me if I show indifference
I apologize for being so inaccessible

I have stored my feelings
Reserved for a better day
I have closed my eyes
I have emptied my heart
I have torn the pages apart
If you look around I can’t be found

Pardon me if I seem to stare
Forgive me if I don’t seem to care
Excuse me for the way I act
I apologize for my behavior
Losing someone can be unbearable
So count me emotionally unavailable

Happiness in times of misery”
