A blanket of light warms me As i glide through the waters with my selkie friends at my side darting through the water and teasing me for letting my thoughts get the best of me I remember He saw me His eyes the color of the forest His hair the color of fire We fell for each other And the string on our finger pulled us like magnets into each others arms We spent so long together And i loved him More than life I loved our daughter More than my sea But the pull It tugged at my heart At my mind my skin My soul I couldnt resist its call i tried and tried for years but i couldnt fight a match that had never been possible for me to win in the first place I couldnt fight my home My very being The beholder of my soul I know they will forgive me one day Our tight knot can not undone Not even when                                   _Fate cuts my string_

A Selkies Story
A blanket of light warms me As i glide through the waters with my selkie friends at my side darting through the water and teasing me for letting my thoughts get the best of me I remember He saw me His eyes the color of the forest His hair the color of fire We fell for each other And the string on our finger pulled us like magnets into each others arms We spent so long together And i loved him More than life I loved our daughter More than my sea But the pull It tugged at my heart At my mind my skin My soul I couldnt resist its call i tried and tried for years but i couldnt fight a match that had never been possible for me to win in the first place I couldnt fight my home My very being The beholder of my soul I know they will forgive me one day Our tight knot can not undone Not even when                                   _Fate cuts my string_
This is based off some selkie myths and legends
