Shattered

He told me tonight
he doesn't want me;
a tidal wave of pain
causes my vision to blur.
My world shatters like glass;
I am only a spectator...
numbly sitting and watching,
unable to catch the flying pieces.
As I blindly reach out,
there's nothing solid to grasp...
emptiness slips through my fingers,
and pain is my only companion.
