💔 Breakup Letter to My Shovel

[Verse 1] (quiet, spoken-singing) We’ve been through hell, you and me Backaches and blackberry vines You never judged me for the cussing Just split your handle and crossed a line [Verse 2] I sawed you down, tried to believe That maybe less of you was more But as I pried up roots of pain You bent like you weren’t mine anymore [Chorus – FULL BAND HITS] (belt this shit with tragic passion) I wrote a breakup letter to my shovel You broke before I did this time And I can’t keep digging graves With someone who won’t hold the line We had our season in the soil Now you’re splinters and regrets I’ll lay you down in the shed But I’ll never forget… [Guitar solo – wailing sadness into absurd glory] [Bridge – quieter again, almost whisper-sung] Maybe you were the last piece Of a past I had to bury Or maybe you just couldn’t keep up With the weight I had to carry [Final Chorus – even BIGGER] I wrote a breakup letter to my shovel It’s time I dig into me You were loyal through the storm But this pain needs steel, not sympathy I’m done patching broken tools When I’m the one still whole So goodbye, old friend of sweat and tears— You helped me find my soul [Outro – acoustic or piano, single note fade] Goodbye… old friend… [shovel drop SFX] [lawnmower starts faintly in distance] You deserve to rest in the shed. And I deserve a partner with at least one full handle. Goodbye, my bladed companion. Thanks for teaching me resilience. And thanks for not giving me tetanus. Forever unbroken,
