Bob Dylan had it right singing
Just like a woman,
Who makes love like a woman,
But breaks just like a little girl
she is as gleeful as a kid with candy
dancing on the sand
or riding the back of her pony
this intense sense of Joy
only glimpses when
she lets
her adult mask slip
to show how stern she
is on the outside
An M&M that won't melt your hand
until she lets it
sweet to taste if she allows it
and always just a bit
unpredictable
as to what flavor you'll get
Day in or Day out
she is the girl with the bright eyes
riding the merry-go-round
always hopeful to catch the brass ring
crushed when she cannot
the girl on the inside
even when the woman
on the outside ages
and if you look deep into her eyes
you can still see the girl
looking for the brass ring
