Mermaid
I came ashore to socialise,
To mix with those who
Have never seen the sea
Or an ocean's far horizon
I came to see what the
Fuss was about,
But found a grubby filty
***** race scrabbling
In their cities to earn
A crust or raise new
Grubby ***** versions
Of themselves,
And every step was as the
Tales have told,
An agony for me,
So what was made it worth that pain?
Well I met you and although
You were nor ever would
Be a person of the mere,
I loved you with a shoal's passion
But you proved fickle and
You proved false,
Betrayed and denied my love
And so I return with my broken heart,
To who I'm meant to be,
Shrug off my shoes and
Flick my tail,
As I return to sea.
Based upon the tales (or tails!) of mermaids
