(this is much more fun) not the one but that is a likely "story of the poem" but really misdirection, sorry (he says ducking at the same time). Hope I didn't spoil the fun.

AN OPEN DRAWBRIDGE Somehow missed the answer. Sorry, I'm new at this. Hello mojobrain - I really like and appreciate your thought process and answer above. Makes a lot of sense to me but this one was more of a "play on words" than a straightforward "what am I". Hope you're not too disappointed with my answer. Damn, Wilson. Great solve. I agree, DD.

Question
plainglazed
I am one
Who begs forgiveness without a sound
Repeatedly yet with no hint of success
An attempt to shun despite the emptiness
To gather without celebrating body and blood
And in foriegn territory when she is gone
I'm all by myself without a single sole
Then forsaking mankind is the answer to my prayers
And I am one
