Shattered

I gave you all of my heart

All my life

But it was doomed from the start

Strewn with strife

And now we've left

Each other in the dark

And this rift

Has me falling apart

We loved and we lost

But you lost the most

And now I feel tossed

And I'm not one to boast

But I've been so shattered

I'll never recover

You are all  that ever mattered

My mythic lover

But I could never live

If I gave up our little cake that I'm baking

So I cut my own heart out with a shiv

Because that was a choice you had me making

But I can't forget

With all the love we had

How bad did things get?

What did I do wrong to make you so mad

That I had to choose between you and him?

I feel so shattered

But I gave you up on a whim

When you were all to me that mattered

Because for as long as I live

I wanted to be a mother to him.
