Broken

The heavens must have named me broken
Since every part of me seems shattered
Be it my bones, my heart or my memories.

I faintly remember how it started
'Cos I'm now a slave to amnesia.
But my fragments reminded me, how I let a wolf in sheep clothing into my life.

He did act as a knight 
And saved me from men that lurks around at night.
I fell head over heels for him,
I gave him my heart
But he crushed it with no remorse.

He played golf
And make my body holes for his golf ball,
I heard my bones crack with every single hit,
I cried overnight -
Till he hits my head and made the hospital my refuge.

I'm still the woman
With 306 bones,
Shattered memories
And a broken heart.
