My Girlfriend's Metaphor

Her life is a whirligig, 
A whirling, twirling spinning top,
Veering here, veering there, 
Never going to stop,

And sometimes she pirouettes, 
Floating on the floor,
Elegant and perfect in every way, 
Always wanting more,

Humming a tune of soft, 
Her black and white dress splays out,
While other times she’s anarchy with wings, 
Hanging off a cloud,

Either way, even though she looks like chaos, 
She’s all I want to see,
She’s a swirling, twirling, whirling top, 
Of honest and happy and free.
