The Silence Gives Nothing Away

The silence is the friend in which I have the most faith Because I know for sure that it won't ever give me away.

I really dislike these so-called "talks"
Where I ever tell you - nothing at all.
I won't admit anything to noone.
Couldn't you just leave me alone?
~~~~~
Because if you think I would confess,
Admit my failures, admit my weakness
Then you couldn't be expecting less:
Your undertaking will meet no success
~~~~~
For I rather speak to the silence
Because it's such a faithful friend
One that never lies, decieves or betrays:
I know the silence won't give me away
~~~~~
To the silence, I can talk about my problems
With the silence, I can share my many secrets
Fully knowing I can do so without any regrets
Because I know it will keep each one of them
For the silence is an utterly secretive one
The most reticent that I have ever known.
~~~~~
The silence won't ever frustrate my faith,
Won't pass on anything I secretively say
It wouldn't ever put my secrets on display
Because the silence gives nothing away.
~~~

Author's Note

Slightly edited, but not much.
Dedicated to: The silence.
This poem is quite significant, because it marks the end of ... something.
After I published this, I didn't publish anything for about 4 months. Then I broke the silence. But ever since, I haven't really finished much of what I wrote.

On each work you post you never fail to impress me. The silence does give nothing away but it doesn't give anything back. Trust is a difficult thing when it is put into the wrong person but with the right one it is rewarding. There is sadness underneath as well as if the person wanted to talk but was afraid to. Very nice as usual! :)

Thank you very much for your review!
And your analysis is 100 percent correct!
Befriending silence and solitude does go hand in hand, and though both are undoubtedly faithful friends, they are not very helpful nor are there any benefits.
It does require courage to break the silence, and with all my heart I hope anybody who is too scared to open their mouth will find the strength to do so eventually.
