Shattered

"Shattered"
(12/23/02 - 19 years old)

To watch her cry
Is like to die
A million deaths.
To know she's hurt;
   Feeling broken -
   Ripped apart
In a puddle of her tears.

To see her eyes
Fill will great fear
Is to take my heart
And rip it apart,
  Knowing I can't fix it all,
   Can't make it all go away.

Watching her hurt
So bad for so long -
I start to feel it, too.
Reaching out,
Trying to help -
         Just to realize
         That she is me
         As I look in mirror...
         And watch it all
