Spanish term or phrase: de la cual vamos saliendo los dos hechos pedazos

Está furiosa y desarticulada y abatida; el cerebro le estalló en pedazos y para ayudarla a recomponerlo sólo puedo guiarme por la brújula de mi amor por ella, mi inmenso amor por ella, pero esa brújula hoy por hoy es incierta porque me cuesta quererla, por momentos me cuesta mucho porque mi Agustina no está amable ni parece quererme ya, y me ha declarado una guerra a dentelladas de la cual vamos saliendo los dos hechos pedazos.

which has made wrecks of the both of us

Explanation:
Or:

which has worn out the both of us

I don't think "hecho pedazos" implies the kind of emotional meltdown suggested by "shattering" or "breaking into pieces."
