Mermaid A mermaid was swimming in the dark sea Seven thounsand miles away from me She was surrounded by many sailors Perplexed by her beauty The sailors look upon her form And desire within their hearts was born They wanted only what they could see piece of her beauty The waves began crashing wildly around There was no hope for her left to be found They were so blinded and tried to grasp Her heart was broken in two Could it be broken Is love just a token That can be bought and sold What is a pure flame Unspoiled by the soul's sham This fire that remains unquenched A young man was staring so intently Into the blue eyes of serendipity He wanted only to make her happy But she could not be owned
