Crushed

Ruined... laying on the floor,
the bits and pieces scattered,
lost under the sofa.... the armchair.

No salvation,
I wanted it gone,
broken beyond repair,
I wanted complete control of the outcome.

For once.....
I'm sorry that I shattered you

I took the reigns,
pulled you in.... and lost you to
my inevitable darkness.

You kept thinking there was something to fix,
you found the hard way,
that there's nothing but violence in my soul.
You can't fix me.

Locked away.

Tied to the walls,
unable to bring you into my deadly grasp.
Keeping you in my arms,
you thought you were safe.

I couldn't let go....
I couldn't let you have the chance to realize
that I'm no good.

I'm sorry that I shattered you.
