Rock and Metal and Mortar

You've built a wall, haven't you?

A wall of stone and iron, with c-o-n-c-r-e-t-e

To |stick| the two together

Because the last thing you want

Is for someone to tear

D

O

W

N

Your precious wall

And take a )peek( inside your head

Where n o t h i n g makes sense

Anymore.

_*(.)*_

That Boggart's confusing you-

It keeps *f*l*a*s*h*i*n*g* through your mind

-Why wasn't it a banshee

Like the time before?

You and Dad used to share your greatest f-f-fear,

When ex-act-ly did that change?

And why

-ohwhywhywhy-

Did it change to… that?

_*(.)*_

\You tell Rose you love her/

]She screams, "Freak!" and runs awa a a a a y[

/And you're left there to cry\

(It keeps flashing through your mind)

But that DOESN'T- MAKE- SENSE

You're as straight as a |ruler|

Why would r e j e c t i o n

From another girl

-From your bestbestfriend-

Be what you fear the most?

…Except…

NO.

Attraction's completely different

From actual &love&.

You're a teenager, your hormones are

o U t o F W h a C k

That's {all}.

_*(.)*_

On the other hand…

NO.

Stop thinking about her like that

-That infamous "that"-

She's just a friend

Just your bestbestfriend

So what if she's the ~prettiest~ person you know?

So what if she's a boh-na-fyed #genius#?

So what if her laugh :)makes your day(: ?

Surely, it's nothing

nothin

nothi

noth

not

no

n

…Right?

_*(.)*_

Maybe you should lay some bricks on that wall

(Just to be safe)

.

I didn't see this coming. At all. But I was in a writing mood, and I actually like how this turned out.

Please review and tell me what you think! Also, I'd love to hear your guesses about who my OC's father is. :) Thanks so much!
