Shattered

My girl was there and pretended to care
As long as it looked good to others

But when things became tough
And the roads became rough
I seemed to become too much a bother

The drink and the drugs
Filled the void of a love
That no longer seemed to matter

Then piece by piece
Like broken glass at my feet
My life became incurably shattered

Shattered like a window
After innocent childhood play

Shattered like a puzzle
Thrown away in dismay

Shattered like a bottle
After each and every day

Shattered is my life
Since you have gone away
