She's Gone

a poem about a broken man, told by one who loved him but he didn't know

He came to me
Tears falling down
I could see
But made no sound

His arms rested
At his side
He'd been tested
True and tried

I knew it then
What went on
It was her sin
He lost his song

She tore it out
His broken heart
She went about
He couldn't start

I held his hand
In my own
"Please understand,
I should've known."
