I Did Not Mean It

The remnants of my trinkets sparkle broken

But they are things and nothing more

Unlike your shattered heart

Which lies defeated at my door.

And I have done this,

I have crushed your battered soul –

I did not mean it,

But of my plan I lost control.

I tried to save you

And that's when I let you down…

I should have seen that you were old enough

To wear this thorny crown.
