You just don't understand.
Everything was perfect,
Nothing could go wrong.
Then you met him.
He is the destroyer of dreams, and clouded your thoughts.
You were the perfect daughter,
Everyone wished you were their sister.
Now he is all you see.
No one talks to you and you talk to no one.
You had the perfect grades,
The perfect smile.
Now the grades are barely passing,
The smile barely wavers.
