Red hair blazing
Blue tail shimmering
Behold her beautiful sight!
She's one of a kind
Queen of the sea
The kingdom at her command
It was all very well
Till she fell in love
With the other side
Paying no heed
To accusations or deceit
But on land things were different
She did not know so then
The price she would have to pay
Swapping her old life for new
But no matter how hard she tried
She could never fit in a world
That refused space for a soul like hers
In the end she returned to the sea
Only to be shunned again
Broken hearted,
She took her place among the stars
Today, her teardrops can be found
In the form of morning dew
On the grass outside...
P.S. This has been inspired by the story of the little mermaid that I loved as a child.
Such a sad tale that was and yours is too. I loved the visuals it evoked.

DeleteAiyo so sad!! Is that how the Little Mermaid ends?!! :'(
