If only the pain in my heart was ephemeral
Like the scent of Roses in a vase
Fleeting as they wither ever gently
Dropping their petals slowly in place
If only my heartache was temporary
Not a forever tattoo in my soul
This lingering pain could disappear
And happiness I could nicely behold
If only the pain in my heart was ephemeral
Like the passing scenery from a train
Just fleeting picturesque moment
Momentary like clouds dropping rain
