O beautiful seashell, sitting atop my dresser-- whiter than the purest milk, or untouched snow. Smooth and chalky, as if crafted by a potter. O beautiful seashell, sitting atop my dresser-- crushed under the weight of a fallen frame containing the oldest photo of my friend and I. O beautiful seashell, sitting atop my dresser-- I'm sorry to say you've suffered from the same fate as my friendship... O beautiful seashell, sitting atop my dresser-- she shattered us into dozens of tiny pieces, and left me as the only fool bothering to pick them up.

Shattered
O beautiful seashell, sitting atop my dresser-- whiter than the purest milk, or untouched snow. Smooth and chalky, as if crafted by a potter. O beautiful seashell, sitting atop my dresser-- crushed under the weight of a fallen frame containing the oldest photo of my friend and I. O beautiful seashell, sitting atop my dresser-- I'm sorry to say you've suffered from the same fate as my friendship... O beautiful seashell, sitting atop my dresser-- she shattered us into dozens of tiny pieces, and left me as the only fool bothering to pick them up.
