Shatter

you were supposed to be there for me

youpromisedyoupromisedyoupromised

you promised when you conceived me

you promised when you shoved me out

you promised when you brushed my hair

                       when you said "I love you"

                       when you picked me up from school

                       when you tied my shoes

you broke it when you yelled

       broke it

       broke it

       broke it

you broke it when you screamed

you broke it on my arms

you broke it on my body

you broke it when you tried to kill me

you broke it

you broke it

you broke it

you promised it would stop

you promised 

you promised

you promised

you broke it when you would disappear

you broke it when you fought

you broke it when you knew you were caught

you broke it 

you broke it

you broke it

you promised it would be better

you promised it was the ghosts

you promised we would be happy

you broke it

you broke it

you broke it

                                                              you broke me
