By the Time...

 
My heart was ice and yours was glass,
and by the time mine started thawing,
yours began to crack.

And perhaps it was my morbid curiosity
[more possibly desperation]
or my innate desire for drama,
that drove me to
     tap, tap, tap
and cause your heart to finally shatter.

And by the time my heart was melting
as I reached to piece the
.....s..c...a. . .tt.. . e.. r.. .ed
..f.. r ... a. .g.. m e . . n. .. .t. s
together,
all that was left were jagged edges
that cut far deeper than I could ever imagine.

And after all the lies,
not even every truth
will ever mend the damage
that I've done.
