Chapter Text

Oh! That's a smile, one quickly hidden,

Your lips are stiff but your eyes sparkle.

Amused, yet ashamed, feeling, and denying;

Why do you refuse this experience?

So cold and stubborn in your ancient mold,

Determined to be true to what you were made.

You wish to be a puppet who only serves a man

Who cannot care for you and never will.

You have choices despite your denial,

You have emotions despite your purpose,

You have interests despite claiming otherwise.

You can continue to deny in front of me,

But I want to say the truth out loud,

Because I enjoy seeing your smile.
