Transient Lady

.                                                                           Lady      
                                                                     are you crying
                                                           are those tears in your eyes
                                                                           maybe
                                                                through your crying
                                                             you’ll eventually realize
                                                           that this world is too cruel
                                                         for as gentle a heart as yours
                                                       and, in no time,  even you will
                                                      dry your eyes as the sky azures

                                                     when the heartache within cures
                                                      and your cupid becomes a devil
                                                        time to triumph will be yours
                                                          you’ll win your every duel
                                                             and will finally realize
                                                                just how satisfying
                                                                          baby
                                                          is to reach those lofty highs
                                                                   while terrifying 
                                                                          daily
