Shattered

I loved you so much it hardly mattered,
Blinded by your million, shiny shards of glass,
Before we laid our love to waste, bruised and battered.

I failed, refused to see the tattered.
Splinters of your future, forged from your broken past,
I loved you so much it hardly mattered.

Our dreams of sustaining this ecstasy scattered,
Our time together spins to conclusion too fast,
As we lay our love to waste, bruised and battered.

My god! You were brilliant tho, smooth and lacquered,
So extraordinary, a demigod unabashed,
I loved you so much it hardly mattered.

I’ll always be grateful and truly flattered,
For tasting the angels’ elixir, unsurpassed,
I loved you so much it hardly mattered,
Before we laid our love to waste, bruised and battered.
