A Girl Named Rona

I fell in love with a girl named Rona,

She was simply irresistible.

At 19 she was still new to the world

She took me by surprise

I will never forget the way she made me feel,

She literally took my breath away.



My whole world turned upside down.



She broke my heart and left me crippled,

I lost many friends and family.

She made me never want to show my face

At last, I locked myself in my home

She took my life away from me.

I fell in love with a girl named Rona,



She changed everything.
