Shards of a Broken Heart

i cant find the words
to tell you how sorry i am
for tearing us apart.
i'd like to say i miss you,
and that im just as a mess
as you are,
but i cant sit here and
let ugly lies like that
flow out of my mouth.

not after i shattered your heart.

but as much as i'd like to help
pick up the shards of your broken
heart, i can't.
those shards hold empty promises
and forgotten forevers we once
made, and i just cant make
myself relive that again.

not after i shattered your heart.

and to all the nights youve cried,
and promised to never speak to me again,
here you are, knocking on my door
asking me to come back
and unbury all of the memories
we had. but i cant make
my self touch
that god forsaken shovel
and dig up everything
we once had.

not after i shatter your heart.
