Shatter

So carefully built up
By hand, brick for brick
But with holes in the pavement
And a fault to connect
Because we're broken and bruised
And drowning in our minds
I would share with you
But I fear you might shatter
I'd give you my hand
And help you up on your feet
But it's too slippery
You'd just fall down again
Please don't give me your heart
I won't treat you right
And a few more regrets
Is the last thing we need
Let me draw you a line
With my words, in your mind
Watch it grow, watch it bloom
A spark of hope for the doomed
As we fall down the stairs
And hear the sick cracks
Our bodies finally joining
The state our minds are at
Your smile is a mask
But you wear it so well
No one can see the pain
And no one can tell
Our minds shatter in pieces
Too small to pick up
A feigned laugh echoing
As we tremble and drop
