Free Cee Symphony For the Devil
pitty the pretty for making easy things seem so hard
feel sorry for the senorita left unceremoniously scarred
have empathy for the sister whose life is a symphony askew
have sympathy for the woman who believed the lies which her lovers would spew
they'd employ words such as "love" "forever after" and "blatant beauty"
but alas suddenly demonic diatribes became their duty
at first they'd take a bow and a vow to honor and respect
but all too soon entered the words "wretched" and "neglect"
with a batting of her eyelashes and a wiggle they were her's
yet those men are around when her final "fare thee well" occurs
her crinoline would kiss the floor and then she would curtsy and be gone
because even broken hearts still live to beat on
so the pretty would leave on another quest for her one true love
a romance with respect and all the promises thereof
i don't know the lady very well who makes easy seem so hard
but i share many of the demons with whom she has sparred
