The Conqueror

[profound_moment]

So you've fled and yet conquered.
My fortress was steel
and yet
you hacked right through.
What I thought was a
gentle and loving tug to
peel away the layers around
my secrets
was actually
a savage rip to see underneath.
To conquer and expose my
pathetic insecurities and enormous faults.
How did you know the weak points?
How did you know what was buried?
THe lines have been severed and
it all lays strewn in the
front yard.
I huddle in the dirt trying to cover
the hole and pick up the ruins.
A slow rebuild.
Brick by brick around the wound.
Stronger
and yet more hollow than before.
