You sit there with red glass shattered, lying on the floor.
Tears gleaming, streaming down your cheek.
Holding tow curved pieces in your hand.
I watch closely trying to understand.
You look up with red eyes.
"It's broken, they're broken," you say.
"He broke both of them."
I shake my head in confusion
Then you shape my conclusion,
"My hearts,"

The author's comments:
This poem is about the fact that so many girls(and boys) are hurt by boys(and girls) that they really cared for. The red glass is based off of Avril Lavigne's video for "Smile" when she was picking up pieces of broken glass hearts to get rid of the conflict in people's lives.
