Watch her fly, see her soar, the moment she steps out the door
Wind assisted, ever lifted, from the pier or from the shore
Can't you catch her, ground her stature, keep her at an even keel?
Soothe abrasions, try persuasion, let the heart and body heal
Try a lecture, soul conjecture, make a pact to bring her down
Mind on matters, truth in tatters, wind the heartstrings, cull the clown
Stop the yielding, pitied shielding, take a stand and stamp that boot
Lest she take off, roughly shake off, shoes kicked from another's foot
Not so gentle, temperamental, raider of the central parts
Whose thoughts go gusting, leering, lusting, takes no shame while breaking hearts
Be beside her, groom her, guide her, shoot those feelings from the hip
If she's still floating, bedtime quoting, lose her with a scissor snip
