Shattered

Broken, and bound so am I
Spirit spiraling down into a dark place
Pieces of me everywhere
Can’t focus all blurry his face
You haunt my very being
Bleeds so my daunting heart
If only I knew you would break me
Never would I gave you such a part

Loves lie did you play such an evil prank
I gulped it right up like sweet nectar
Why did I choose your drink?
Blinded myself to your true intentions
I hate losing you by the way did I mention?

Now cold you are to me
Mean, cruel and uncaring
Stomping on my shattered soul
I get it’s time to let you go

Picking up the pieces of all this broken glass
As I reflect each one
I admit to myself what a stupid ass
Weighted down now just over a ton

Bearing sorrow upon my chest
memories flash through my brain
was it all just a lie
my heart now lives with a cane

Broken and battered
beaten and shattered
my life never to be the same
