My Shelter

In response to bwarren’s Sunday Whirl Wordle #746

You were my shelter
the rocks that formed my foundation
were lain by you

A step along the front line of defense
against the ravages of my flesh
leaving little more than a messy ghost behind

You rose to the fight
refusing to settle for the mere scrap
of woman I had become

You left unwillingly or perhaps willingly
who will ever know
not I as I lay here on the edge and tremble
