and her grades dropped
from a ninety-eight to a ninety-two.
and she stopped eating
from three helpings to just one.
and she stopped sleeping
from ten hours to only six.
and these changes were subtle
but still they we're there.
and she slowly fell apart
piece by tiny piece.
and her grades plummeted
she's failing now.
and she stopped eating
she hasn't had a bite.
and she stopped sleeping
she was lucky to get an hour.
and these changes seemed sudden
but they were there all along.
and she fell apart awhile ago
and no one could put her back together.
