My life in BOLD face
about face
in disgrace.
Weak willed and
succumbed to
a stiletto wind.
Every heel sometimes
breaks off ingrate.
No initial pain
of a sliver slice
and blood hesitates
to flow.
Before I know it
a valentine trail
drips leaving evidence
to find my way home.
Platelet  crumbs of your heart.

    >"..Every heel sometimes/breaks off ingrate." You can punctuate that various ways and make it say quite a lot more than your normal six words. Lots of twists and turns on this interior Hwy 55, and a perfect last line.
