Truth can be both - ice or fire. So I am guessing the poem is referring to how the truth was delivered to this other person. Harshly, it can be cold. The same truth, given with care and understanding, can be a warm embrace. The character fears intimacy above all - the exposure of its real needs and wants. So, friendship is found only in the safety of the frozen tundra of detachment. Good work. @fcpway
