Shattered

I’m shattered

My self-scattered across

This heartless land

This desolate place

 

I say goodbyes

And give away my gold

And dance to the

Hammer tunes

 

My pretend dreams

Broken

Lost

And stolen

 

Dead grandmother’s

Rolling and turning

In their graves

Because it’s just you and me

Baby

 

I’ve received signs

I’ve fortified and

Made adjustments

To accept

And pretend

 

I may be shattered

But I’ll never be destroyed

 

Every time I fuckin go

I just realize

And I stand by my beliefs

I don’t believe in love

It’s just imaginary

A fuck for false fighters

 

My love is for you

Always

But when you fuck around

You kill me

 

It hurts

But you have NOT destroyed me
