Blue Eyed

I have been working on a song called Blue Eyed for over a year now. It was inspired by this dream that I had years ago where I saw my then-crush skinny dipping in a river, and I got excited, only for her then-new boyfriend to join her and break my heart. So far, the lyrics are like this.

Verse 1:

Saw her in the river, swimming beneath the trees

Living in the moment, her hair flying wild and free

Stole a glimpse, and suddenly, my heart began to race

No clothes to hide her skin, euphoria on her face

Pre-Chorus 1:

Hidden in the open, desire burns within

Caught in the crossfire of a battle that I can't win

Chorus:

Blue eyed angel, shining in the light

Memories of her haunt me through the night

What once was pure is now so out of sight

Blue eyed angel, she fades into the night

Verse 2:

Suddenly, I see a man stepping into the stream

Their passionate embrace shattering all my dreams

I turn away, I cannot look, the scene just makes me sick

She's not so innocent, and that hits me like a brick

Pre-Chorus 2:

Hidden in the open, desire meets despair

Caught in the crossfire of an image that I can't bear

Chorus

Breakdown:

Caught in the act!

Bridge:

I try to find my footing, but the ground beneath me shakes

My eyes refuse to leave them, and my fragile heart just breaks

[I need two more lines here, but I cannot come up with them.]

Guitar Solo

Chorus

The problem that my mom, my music manager, has with this song is that it is "too graphic". She suggested changing the second verse to be about how the girl is a witch of sorts or something instead of being about a guy stealing the girl. I protested this suggestion because that is not what the song is supposed to be about, and I dropped the topic and worked on other songs instead. I do want to finish it, though, in a way that she might accept. After all, if she does not like the songs that I write, then they will not be released because she is in charge of choosing which songs I release.

Does anyone have any ideas?
