There

She cried
When no one would take her side
He knew she was bare
And so had to be there

She faltered
Sometimes when it mattered
He tried to be fair
But then again and again, was always there

As time went
Feelings gave way to vent
Under the glare
Of the persons closest, who were rightfully there

Then she went away
With nary a breath or a sway
T'was painful, that tear
Strangely, he would still be there

Her sudden words today
Ought to be kept at bay
But can one not care?
When not so long ago he promised, I'll Be There
