The Truth That Defines Me

There is always hesitation that comes right before the truth can come out. 

So that all that comes out is a soft sigh. 

And then a conversation that seems heartless. 

My friend will leave with a sense that there is a void within me. 

I will leave with relief as I whisper my secrets to myself.
