Shredded Life

I tore apart my sheets
I ripped apart my bed
Until I stood there wondering 
What is was that I had said

Could it be I did not listen
Could it be I did not care
Could it be how much I loved you
And for me you did not share
You were always, never there

What’s done is done
I’ll live my life and so will you
But I wonder if you wonder
What else we didn’t do

The deed is done, no turning back
No matter how much you try
It’s forgiveness that I lack

I say it was you
You say it was me
I guess we’ll never know
How loving each other could have been
