Poetry: Stalemate

Stalemate

Or cellmate?

Keeper of the fire

Or killer of the flame?

This ice maiden

Cannot melt

And make the first move

So can you?


Six months in limbo

Nothing's been said

Maybe nothing every will

I'm a strange creature

A lost and lonely insecure girl


All this small talk

Covers up the issues at hand

I just want to know once and for all

Where we stand
