Fear: a furnace
I was normal
You were normal
Two normal girls
Being friendsjustfriends
Letstalkaboutguysfriends
Meant holding a metal sheet
Between us
Invisible but heavy
I was scared
I said No
Fear: a furnace
Burned away tenderness
Fellow-feeling
Friendship
Running giggling cheerful chatty
Hihihowsitgoing?
I returned
Anhydrous eyes
From inside a Fortress
Of white ash
Scared: No

bflagsstabout 15 years agoThe only reason I didn't give it a fiver was because the tenses in "Running giggling cheerful chatty" didn't seem to flow. Not that the tenses are wrong, they just seem off for the flow of the poem.
