She.

She gets off the phone, crying because he's mad at her.
She walks to the refrigerator, opens it, then closes it realizing there is nothing to eat.
She lies down on the floor, the music she's playing is a mixed CD from him.
She only cries harder.
She looks up to see her mom come in the door.
She sees her mom crying, another lover lost.
She walks to her room as her mom calls the one most recently lost.
She tries to block out the sound of her mom screaming.
She thanks God or whoever is laughing at her up there that her little sister isn't home to see this.
She cringes as her mom throws something breakable against the wall.
She only cries harder.
She remembers him cheating on her.
She only cries harder.
She can't think of the last time her dad said he loved her.
She only cries harder.
She hears another glass shatter.


She cries herself to sleep.
