If loneliness knew how to hold
I wouldn't feel this cold
If it could whisper in my ear
I know the words would be sincere
If silence found the words to say
I wouldn't leave, and it would stay
If truth were meant when you speak
Then I wouldn't feel so weak
If emptiness meant to satisfy
I'd have no need to find that high
If it took away how you make me feel
There'd be no reason to conceal
If my fears could shield from you
I'd have forever and finally get through
If your tears were shed in truth
I'd drop the loss I held since youth
Sincerity was yours to choose
But your denial had stronger views
That in the end had lit the fuse
That severed any chance; you lose

You are right, I am glad you read inbetween the lines... I whispered truth and honesty..and i love that you saw that.. you are true..because you saw what was disguised behind a cloudy glass...alot of people see only what it obvious....WE don't....I hope to find others like you..... :)
Although sadness might be what most see, I see along with the sadness a plea for truth and honesty. A thing we all deserve, but few obliges such a simple request. I also notice 'if' is used through-out giving that glimmer of hope. Awesome piece
The flow and the rhyme in this piece is just wonderful. I feel that this piece is filled with sadness as well. It is stunningly-written. The emotion is deep and I could tell you put your all into this piece. Well done for this. Keep writing.
