The Echo of Loneliness

You've given me everything,
But without communication,
Love feels like an empty room.

I don't want to burden you
With words that mean nothing.
Yet, I need you to hear me: 

When sadness clouds my sky,
Be the ear that listens.
When joy lightens my step,
Be the ear that shares.
When doom looms over me,
In this world of shadows,
Be the ear that understands.

For in silence,
Loneliness echoes loudly,
And a listening heart
Can bridge the greatest distance.
