Lying On Truth Poem by Daniel McCann

How many people are alone in a lonley word?
How many hearts are broken?
How many lovers? How many are hurt?

How many head out to find someone in town?
How many find the dark sky as they lie on the ground?
Tell me how many smiles have been turned upside down?

How many pretend they are not looking?
How many need someone just for nothing?
How many find something without the loving?

How many hands dont hold?
How many beds have become cold?
How many happy endings are not told?

How many open their eyes to the truth they see?
How many lovers honestly just let it be?
How many liars are lying all alone just like me?
