Gwynevere (Broken)

He came back late.
She was in bed. He said,
“Where’s my dinner?” “Right
over there.” He didn’t care.
Then he broke her,
Broke her.
She will never walk again
Broken
Broken
Hardly ever talks to men, she’s
Broken
Broken

Works at a firm,
Where she wheels around, she’s bound
To go really far if she can
Take all the glares and stares she sees.
They broke her
Broke her.
She cries at her office desk
Broken
Broken
God, is this some awful test?
Broken
Broken

Emergency Exit,
She opens the door. Before
Eight flights of stars, she
Closes her eyes and flies down
She broke her
Broke her.
All she wanted was some love
Broken
Broken
Her friends say it was just dumb luck
Broken
Broken

Her name was Gwynevere
Broken
Broken
It was written on her wheelchair
Broken
Broken
I knew her
I knew her
Gwynevere
Gwynevere
I knew her
I knew her
For
Twenty
Seconds.
