Maps

[mabithdarling]

You drew maps on my arms
in some vain effort to point me
in the right direction.
Drew islands surrounded by
blue green water and
treasures marked with X.
Monsters to keep me clear of danger.

But you never understood that
while my mind was in the stars,
my heart was in your hands.

And I never understood that
your love was buried in the avalanche of me.
