'Solitude'
Sometimes we separate ourselves
with those things we hold dear,
putting up a fence around our hearts
so we will not feel any loss should it come.
Thus the tree of friendship is hard to climb,
with branches bare and surrounded in ice.
Those who would be close can not grasp hold
to the coldness we portray, eventually moving on
to find the warmth they require.
Causing our fears to come true.
