How Can I Protect You?
How I Try To Be There For My Friends Inspired by and Alabama 3 Song
I always try to be there for friends and will offer advice or a shoulder to lean on.
People almost always keep things to themselves but it is better to at least talk to someone to deal with what the issues are.
I wanted to use a villanelle to emphasise the point of this but decided to use a call and response in a sonnet form.
After the poem, there are a few links that you may find helpful.
The music is a fairly harsh Alabama 3 Song but the chorus is truly euphoric, and when you hear that you will never forget it.

181 Keeping Watch
Each day she watched through her window. Watched? Perhaps an exaggeration: a monochromatic nuclear aftermath remaining of the world, blurring into a blindness--loss of contrast and depth of field. Achromatic aberrations displayed a waste-scape stratified in grays.
