She slipped into the water
Under the crest of the new fallen night
She was young and gorgeous, glowing too
Bones accentuated under the light.
She flowed in covers of darkness
Riding the dawn like a wave
Brought up like her father, brilliant and strong,
Taught that she needed to be brave.
The girl had learned all the lessons
Taken notes and brought them to mind
But when she needed these lessons the most
Her strength was not one she could find.
Backtrack just a little, a month, maybe two
Right there began such a snowball
Right there is when the strong pretty ocean
Had lost water and started to fall.
Because slowly the sea had been turning
The tides were all waiting to crash
The critters were running from home
Decisions becoming too rash.
The girl of the sea was now stuck
Between directions she didn't want to choose
And now more than ever, it seemed
Now she had everything to lose.
Hope had left with the turtles and fish
And slowly the girl lost her shine
Dreams trickled down the long waterfall
Her decision was made in short time.
And as of right now, she's doing quite well
You could say she is peaceful at last
But the beauty of the ocean will not be the same
As the girl that we knew in the past.
