Shattered

Shattered... memories, dreams

A childhood masked in promise

A bittersweet release 

I am nothing more than shards of glass

But when I put myself back together

It's a distorted shell at best

Yet somewhere in the slivers

Pricking painfully at my soul

Are the tear drops of wanton love

I was never able to let go

I may not believe that I deserve him

Or know exactly what I've done right

But I will not turn away

Now that I have him in my sight

His gaze is like sunkissed moonlight

His touch like lightening in the wind

His lips like fire in the ocean

And it's where my life begins

For I belong to every moment

Until our final days are done

I am his without condition

And he is my forever love
