Just A Heart

Today,
  
      I witnessed a breaking heart.  I watched it cringe with sorrow and pain.  One by one pieces of it floated down onto the sidewalk.  An icy sidewalk.  I watched it shatter at her feet.  I held my hands out to catch it but it went right through them. A if it had been broken so many times, that it no longer exsisted.  Tears turned her eyes from a blissful blue to a soft grey.  Almost metallic. 
   
     Blush slumbered on her cheeks until torrant anguish spilt from her eyes.  Her happy eyes.  That became grey as rainfilled clouds.  Her tears mimicking the rain that poured upon us.  I couldn't mend her heartache.  I couldn't stitch up her wounds.  Her soul bruised.  I couldn't fix her.
  
     Not this time.   
     What happened you ask?  
     Her mother smiled and said .....  I hate you.

   Sigh..... no cupcake tonight.
