Siren Song

More water for my mind, please

Drape me in pearls and throw me to sea

Scales become the new kicks on my feet

Sanctuary where they’re all like me

Oceanside view for you while you see me off

Never to touch or sweep past ever again

You always knew that our love was wrong

So I sing with the sirens for our myth to begin

I was never made to roam the land with you

My home was never the sand or the city

Now there’s nothing here to remind me

Of your infatuation or blatant pity

Hold your ear to the shells on the beach

Try to hear my voice in the encased echoes

My love, I was never the heart you‘d need

You can’t tread where the creatures glow

So, you keep your home on land where it’s safe

And let me go back to the monsters in the abyss

You live out the rest of your boring days

And keep wishing it was my love on your lips

Love Always,

Chayle
