I was the only one who knew her secrets
I was the only one she could trust.
Her eyes pierced me as she stared
She was looking,
Searching for an answer
But I had nothing to offer.
Her debate started again
To listen to her heart?
To listen to her mind?
She could talk like that for hours
Her eyes filled with passion
While she talked about him
But today, it wasn't the same
I could see the pain
The pain his absence was putting her through
Slowly eating her up from inside.

I knew her,
Her desires, dreams and demons
For I was the one she could trust
I have been her constant
I have been her reflection
No words of love did I offer
No words of courage did she hear
All I returned was silence
All I lended was a listening ear.

Now here she stands in front of me
Tears forming in her eyes
I know the reason for her sorrow
I know her heart can't take it no more
Stop, I shout out to her
He still lives in here, I say as I touch my heart
All she does is stare
Stare at hand on her heart
Tears pour down rapidly
Rolling down her soft cheeks
He's gone, she says
How could he leave me, she questions
I stand helpless is front of her
It wasn't his choice, I say
But her sorrow had consumed her
She could not hear
She could not see
A streak of fury now lashing out
She hit her fist against me
Once, twice, thrice
Till I was shattered
All that remained of me were shards of glass
All that remained of her were shards of her heart...
