The very private feelings,
The very little talks,
Clinging on like golums,
Wrapped like an albatross.
The strong breakable levees,
The weak bearing shells,
The overflowing cups,
And the empty wells.
The hide-and-seek with you,
The occassional face-off,
The dull eyes, the bowed head
A little smile, a drop of tear.
Revitalise the lost thought,
Fortified serotonin nerve claws,
That odd song, the goosebumps
The acid test, the deep fall.
The waking up, the bright light
The open chest, the flawed night
The shivering hands, the cracked walls
Dejected chords and a naked heart.
