The poem describes the narrator's heartbreak after a breakup. They cry tears of pain as memories of their past relationship come flooding back. Their partner tells them they were "just not meant to be" before leaving them alone with rage, anger and pain over how something that seemed so sweet could be so vain. As their ex walks out the door after offering only friendship, the narrator's heart shatters further, unsure how to begin picking up the pieces to heal from this loss.
