sincere

 
loneliness emits a certain keen
if you're listening you will hear it
an emptiness that gnaws at the soul

indifferent to my own pain
it sometimes rises with pangs of ache
and I am taken aback

doubled over with pain
my heart's sorrow clearly seen
hidden deep within, I swallow it down

regretful emotion, I don't want you to see me this way
it hurts my pride to know you get to me
salvation in a hugs sometimes that's all it takes
a smile, to keep those uneasy feelings at bay

tender emotion, when I can express myself to you
fated untion, you're a big part of my life
silly girl, with foolish thoughts on love
seeking your affections, across the great divide
it is our own loneliness that separates

a feeling of inadequecy, that smothers
my low self esteem, getting in the way
surrending to our honesty
I love you through all of it
