PLOTTING ME: MUSINGS ON WRITING LIFE & LOVE

Mapless

You found the chink in my armor,
     hammered away with your
     smirk and your wiles
until I had a space
     just big enough for you.
     It grew and I crawled in, too
     like it was our own special foxhole.
I rested and trusted
basked in your light.
Didn't notice or ignored
when it no longer cocooned
and warm walls became
     cold bars.
Because you were gone
in the night or light.
I couldn't tell
     except for the chink-turned-cavern
     that you dragged my heart
     through
leaving me empty promises
     emoji-filled deceptions and
     tear-stained palms turned
     shovels
to fill my soul back in.

(c) Stefanie P. Worth 2017
