Shattered By My Own Hand
My heart remains shattered
I didn’t fall in love with a girl
Rather, I sort of sauntered into it
But, eventually, there I was
Not all in until too late
Now not allowed where I want to go
She showed me one day a drawing of her with her heart on the floor
For what I’d done to her
I was, after all, taken by another with a different life
And could not be everything to her
Or with her
So today I am not allowed to know her
Though I look from a distance and see
This man who has given her what I didn't
And I can only sit here and love her
Wanting her life to be full of joy
I did it all to me
So I expect no sympathy
Even though
My heart remains shattered
