Blades and scissors were nothing compared
To the words that stabbed her heart and lived in her mind
From the one person
She adored
The one person she looked up to the most
The one person she loved, loves, and will love no matter what

That first look of disappointment
Intensified
More and more
Every time she did something he never approved
She was a puppet
He planned her future bright and clear
She was okay with that
But one mistake led to another
And before she knew it
All of his plans came crashing down

She remembered that first look
Those first words
She will never forget
They lived in her mind
Where they built giant castles and declared it their home

She was no longer perfect
He no longer trusted her entirely

He hated what she was becoming
She hated that he hated her

She was getting too far
She was getting too far gone

And suddenly no one can stop her

He still looks at her
But not like before anymore
There was something in there
The disappointment that still lingers
Because she was no longer perfect

Because she was growing up
