i am a mermaid.
lover of sea-life.
gracefully swimming without a care in the world.
gentle and kind to all things.
secretive and tucked away.
i am a mermaid.

d.l.b.

why do i feel so alone
why does nobody like me
oh, please don't make me go
i'm going to cry
all my true friends
live in different worlds
while i am stuck here
why does nobody like me
why do i feel so alone

d.l.b.

i cannot take this anymore
i want to scream
i feel trapped
but nothing i do is going to free me

d.l.b.

how is it
those three words
can make someone's whole existence worthwhile,
while shattering another's heart

how is it
those three words
form protection, happiness, and serenity
but also pain, hurt, and despair

how it it
you love her while i love you

d.l.b.

wrap me in your arms and tell me you love me
for then everything will be alright
no more worries
no more fear
no more cold and rainy days alone

come, and hold my hand
tell me i'm safe
sing me a song
a quiet, soft lullaby
no more bright and sunny days alone

come, and dance with me
make me smile
make me laugh
tell me stories to make me happy
no more days alone.

d.l.b.

you know just what to do
to make me feel so incredibly alone
you burrow deep into my heart
every nook and cranny is infatuated with thoughts of you

you tear me apart
you make me feel like a stranger
to myself

but how is it
after you destroy the bitter pieces of what's left of me,
and make my heart yearn for your ice cold eyes,

i can still love you just the same

d.l.b.
