She sweeps in with a story
That makes you drop your jaw
Your eyes widen, you ask questions
She leaves you wanting more
It took half a day to get here
She never bothered to let you know
You make her bed and get her dinner
She doesn’t notice, you let it go
She comes home past midnight
Wakes the house up with her noise
Breaks things she didn’t pay for
And ruins dear, old toys
When she leaves the next morning
Taking things because she can
She leaves a massive mess behind
Like that was the main plan
And I know you lap it up
Because you think that she loves you
But love is not enough
Respect is needed too
