How Could You Be So Heartless?

by luckly the dorkfish

Sherlock has been told all of his life he doesn't have a heart. That he's a machine. That he's cruel, so he believes them. little poem I wrote. Based on the song here: /watch?v LBTdJHkAr5A Disclaimer: Don't own Sherlock or the song.

Everyone goes through heartache, Everyone goes through pain,
But when it comes to love, isn't there so much more to gain?
So my question is: why can't I be touched, why can't I feel?
Is it so wrong to wish for feelings that are said to be real?
I guess so, because harsh words are to be expected,
To a monster without a heart who's always been rejected.

When I place my hand on my chest, nothing's there.
When others are empathetic, I couldn't really care.
My emotionless words couldn't bother me.
But others don't get it, they don't really see.
It's not my fault! I can't change who I am!
I'm sorry I'm not normal, please try to understand.

I met someone new and he became my friend.
He had such high expectations and I disappointed him again.
With tears in his eyes he turned away from me,
And asked me a question I couldn't plan to foresee.
"How could you be so heartless?" he furiously exclaimed.
I outwardly smirk but internally wonder just the same..
