She was written by Dostoyevsky, on a frigid Petersburg morning.

Her features were plain and her attributes sweet.

She is every protagonist and every dreamgirl.

She enjoys the simple things and never complains.

Her love is loyal, obedient, and stagnant.

A few strands fall out of her hairdo just perfectly.

Her voice is soft and lacks grit.

She looks upon the world with doe eyes.

She's just perfect.

Her tears are always honest and considerate.

She lacks strength, but has boundless empathy.

She will be the perfect wife.

She's just a simple girl who doesn't know too much.

Sometimes, I wish I was as boring as her.
