I held pieces of broken mirror between my fingertips.
I saw depression in the reflection.
That person wasn't me.

I heard heavy footsteps,
Your footsteps.
I have never seen someone look as upset as you did.

I'm sorry.
I'm not important enough to be worried about,
Especially by you.

But when you pulled me into your arms,
The pieces of broken mirror slipped from my hands.

I never thought it would be you trying to fix me.
