Everything Is Not So Right.

Graduation night.
Everything was so right.
But you wouldn't know,
You were a no show.

I cried myself to sleep that night.
I held it in so long,
the tears blurred my sight.

You broke my heart that day.
Into a million little pieces i would say.
Never fail to let me down.
But no longer will I frown.

I have paid my dues,
and I no longer have any respect for you.
