shattered...

the day you ran in fear...away from me...

me?

I am only a man who cares deeply for you

I am a fool who believes

and the only thing I want to break

is this wall between us

you look at me with stained glass eyes

it is not your fault

but I am not what you believe

regardless

when that door closed behind you

leaving me trapped and powerless

like you thought you would be...

I broke down.

You did not see

and I turned to stone that day

that day it rained and never stopped again

when I saw you in that parking lot

I panicked. For a second I was lost in that room again

waiting for you to run

but I decided this time - I would run first.

quickly I drove away.

today I saw your picture

and my breath caught in my throat

how do you still do that?

even now ... even so long after I first let you into my heart...

here as I lay shattered inside

I still look for your eyes.
