It Cracked Me Open

By Jennifer M. MacDonald


PROMPT — Who am I today?

It cracked me open.


I was in Love

and he loved me


I thought

I mean, you did say 

I LOVE YOU


But I Don’t 

love 

you 

I don’t love you 

like 

THAT

he said


Plunder my heart

DOWN, 

Down, 

down

You plunge me

Spiral into 

a chasm

Depression


When I climb

broken, cut

Out this

story from

My gut
