Shatter Me
I thought I knew you
thought I knew your heart
but this stranger before me
has taken me all apart.
Laid to waste in rain
as our dreams are destroyed
dismantled by pain
while the anger is deployed,
You’ve broke me slowly
& the passion has ceased
with each lie that you told
you removed a new piece,
You’ve shattered me slowly &
drained me of life.
You’ve paralyzed me wholly &
bound me with strife,
So NOW…
shatter me quickly for
I’ve been broken for years.
Please release me quickly
from this prison of tears.
I thought this bond was forever or
our friendship at least.
My home was with you wherever,
even a box on the street.
The sacrifices I’ve chosen
to keep a family as one
have all gone unnoticed
since the sorrow’s begun.
You’ve shattered me finally
with one final move
that ended our era
and left nothing to prove.
So NOW,
Shatter me gently
leave my pieces behind
let me heal intently
from my shattered mind.
I thought you were my hero
even though love’s been long gone
you still hung my moonlight
and haunted my songs.
Now it seems you don’t care
about the past we created
and millions of memories
are being deflated.
You’ve shattered me cruelly and
put me through a hell
and left me effortlessly
when my heart didn’t swell.
So NOW
Shatter me easily
leave my heart on the ground
for the love that you promised me
he cannot be found.
I thought you were my life’s love
till we were old and gray
but the way that you treated me,
I guess the love couldn’t stay.
I know I treated you poorly
after you shattered my soul
but I was lost in loneliness
that was beyond my control.
I know we both have faults
in the end of our story
maybe we should’ve fought harder
to reach our glory.
You’ve shattered me harder
than I’ve ever had to weather
and the shards of our bond
cannot be put back together.
So NOW
Shatter me gracefully
for in agony I’ll weep
for the dreams we once had
& the memories I’ll keep.
Shatter me kindly
don’t be oh so cruel.
For I once was your everything
Now I’m just a fool.[
