Collapsed against the brick wall,
tears puddled on her knees,
devoid of comfort,
she was weeping alone.
This was never supposed to happen.
Heart fractured by a boy,
boss called to let her go,
the death of a loved one,
it could have been anything.
This isn't okay.
I've never known the girl,
never even seen her face;
but I still have to say,
her heart should never break.
This wasn't part of the plan.
Darling, you are more than this,
a greater love is here, I promise.
There will be an end to it;
the aching will cease to exist.
This is all going to be fixed.
Your Father adores you,
His shoulder will catch
your tears before they
have the chance to land.
This is finished.

I was leaving in n out tonight when I saw a girl crying by herself. It haunted me for the rest of the night. I couldn't really put on paper what was plaguing my mind, but I tried.
