What was it
About the woman
That made him sad

There in her high heel shoes
The surface of her hair
Just catching the morning light

For a moment it seemed
She was waiting for him

A lover
The wonder
Who filled her dreams

The star he knew
Would never arrive

"For a moment it seemed

I'm confused by the use of "her" in those lines. It seems the entire piece is written from one persepective, only to be flip-flopped for a single moment. This is very unclear to me.

It's only a tragedy after we bleed.
Your pain doesn't count 'til it's stained the sheets.
