His Heart

All that is left of him is an empty shell. He is no longer complete, no longer a whole person. He is only an echo of who he used to be.

She sees every moment that passes him by as it tears even more from him. She sees him break that little bit more. She sees his tears.

It is only she who sees him so truly for what he is and who he has become. She has been with him from the start. She knows him.

All that is left of him is a shadow of his former self and yet she refuses to leave his side. She can't leave his side.

All that is left of him is a bitter man, pinned down by the horrors of his past. His past is his state of mind, his present and his future.

All that is left of him is a dark void, empty, silent.

She doesn't care. He may be damaged, well and truly, but she knows him and she knows his heart.

That is enough.
