Black black black
Her heart was blackest black
Before she met the god with a
Heart of gold and marbles in his mouth
She had marbles in her mouth and so
Found this quite alluring
Black
Her heart was blackest black
This Germanic god, she met him and all at once fell in some
Sort of love that was not like what she had before
Scary thing, this was
Black
Her heart was blackest black and
Little by little this silent god she named Odin
He turned her black heart
A medley of pink and red and purple
She was the mermaid queen
And he this tall gigantic god, this
Wanderer
Everyone knows the heart of a mermaid is quite cold
He warmed her heart without trying
And though she did yes, push away at times
She realized now
She did so out of fear
Fear of her heart that she saw turning pink
She realized he had his own sort of love
Not the flowers and romance she'd seen before that
Flitters away in an instant
She realized this now. She was okay with who he was, she
Finally saw
She
Finally understood
How he spake the words, "I am fond of you"
For he did not say them in flowers and chocolates
He said them in other ways
Now
Now she gets it
