This Shattered Heart

by shenoa   Jan 27, 2005


The broken glass lay on the floor
out for the world to see
you swiped it away without a thought
of what we used to be

when we started, i believed nothing would go wrong
we were so perfect together
everything you said and did,
i believed it would last forever

gradually my heart melted
to mold to your perfect palm
you cherished my heart, my love
but that didn't last so long

i remember the day i gave you that heart
to symbolize my love for you
just a chunk of glass carved to be
what was shared between us two

it was Cristal clear, and hard as rock
that glass heart of mine
no matter how anyone tried
everything stayed completely fine

till that day i found you there
wrapped up in her arms
but i forgave you, just like that
falling victim to your charms

but no matter what you thought
that glass heart cracked
not large enough for you to see
not large enough no not turn back

but day after day, that fracture grew
the cracks never seem to stop
it sat there forever, fragile in your hand
until my precious heart you dropped

it shattered there, on the floor
along with the memories of us
that pure glass heart i gave to you
now mingled with dirt and dust

and thats whats left of you and me
those broken shards of glass
that you cut me so deep with
leaving a scar that will forever last
