Mermaids are different.
We have God in our hearts
from living in the sea
created by Him.
Nature is our abode.
We have a strong love for
our mate and our young.
Why, because I am different,
couldn't you love me?
You deserted us and
left us all alone.
Was it because I was
different than most?
I swam and swam seeking
to relieve the pain.
Then finally I met him,
my soul-mate.
Then I was blessed again.
He loved me more than
you ever did.
He loved me
more in one day
than you ever loved
me in many years.
His kisses were sweeter
than any other.
He never, ever
meant to leave me.
No, he couldn't help it
that he died.
He liked it that I
was a mermaid,
different than the rest.
He recognized my
femininity,
while you were out
swimming around
looking for variety.
He loved it that
I was different and
uniquely me,
because he just
loved me.~for me.
