Shatter Me

Home is where the heart is.

But my heart has been shot.

And it seems like it's not meant for forever

Because it shattered like glass.

Home is where I feel safe.

A safe haven;

If even that.

Somewhere I can run and reminisce the good days.

My home is in my heart where I feel safe.

And it has branched out to you,

And for some reason yours has done the same.

Because my heart has shattered

I'm no longer near

But I still live in your heart

So don't you tear.

We've collided

and home is with each other

in which I trust thee to be there

Then and Now.

Not for another.
