walter scott john adam’s reveries of a familiar kind

i’ve been lonely.
and I don’t blame you for this
its a certain kind of lonliness
that builds up slowly

it’s been a while
since I’ve been able to be free
in the ways that love let’s you be
talkative with smiles

i have just found
that its when we are most willing
to share our little thoughts, giving
heart sprouts fertile ground

that we lose fear,
to come out of our corners
where pressed noses and floors
drenched now with our tears

Have kept us hidden all these years
From ones who love with open ears
