Falling to the ground

Sitting silently, reflections of the past

kept her from seeing the truth

laid out before her

And as it built up over time,

she chose to ignore that reality

was the way she wanted it to be

the way she needed it to be,

to make her life sensible to none

other than herself

and through the tears that welled up

in her eyes, she looked at the emails

and the pictures of them together

She let the evidence fall to the ground

as the tears cascaded, but she couldn‘t

close her eyes, as the broken glass of her reality fell to the ground, too
