Shattered

She lifts her head from the
Tearstained pillow
And frantically tries to calm her
Wild thoughts.
They do not wish to be
Tamed tonight.
She rememberes the day he decided
That she was worth throwing pebbles,
And mournfully ponders the day he
Changed his mind,
And the haunting silence of the windowpane.
Her knees hit the floor.
The trees ourside cry tears of
Amber and Gold
As late September steals their life.
She tries quietly to return
To the past.
Once again she sees the
Green of his eyes,
Feels his lips on her forehead,
As he whispers the words
She longed to hear.
Now,
Kneeling in agony at her bedside,
She is broken.
She looks up to the lonely window,
And shudders as she now
Tarries on the memory
Of physically feeling her heart
Breaking in two,
As he said, "Goodbye."
And drove away without looking back.
While she stood on the doorstep,
Shattered.
She realizes her heart is now
Shattered.
Like broken glass.
But now,
She takes a shard of her
Shattered
Heart and allows him to have it,
Bids him to take it and go.
She lifts her head
Away from her tearstained knees
And stands up.
She calmly gathers her fluttery thoughts,
Along with the pieces of her heart
From the floor,
Missing one,
Of course.
Now she quietly opens the window.
The cool Autumn air begins
To heal a
Shattered
Heart.
