A young woman spent
Many years behind a window
Guarding her fragility
Until one day
The glass breaks from
A single tear drop
Exposing her loneliness
As each day
Different faces pass by
The broken window stopping to
Gaze at the young woman’s appearance
Before continuing on their way
Some stay a moment just to
Say “hello” neither waiting
For her reply nor allowing
A chance for conversation
Yet everyday
She looks out towards
The world trapped behind the
Broken shards hoping that
Someone will stay awhile and
Become her friend
