To be friendly,

          And yet friendless

To appear ever the optimist,

          While inside

The glass is not only half-empty,

          But chipped

          And dirty.

I didn’t like that drink anyway…

Cheers

          ……….silence……..

          (distinct lack of clink)

I agree with annaswirls' view on that last line

A degree of subtlety is called for here

For the silence speaks volumes

As no one rallies round the nice guy.

And a warm Welcome to the poetry side of Lit.

oh heartbreaking!

I do not think the last line is necessary, as you plant the image in the mind of the reader in the title, and in the silence itself.

I love the idea of the lack of the clink. Wah!
