My New Necklace, by artsangel on DeviantArtz
I was toying around with some emotion. Is this poetry? Lyrics? Most likely it’s simply the ravings of a woman trying to find her own strength. Perhaps it will speak to you.
Mermaid
She believed she was living a dream
A fool in love delivered by God above
Instead of fantasy, it was an evil scheme
Heartache, shame, and pain, fit like a glove
Take what you can
Who knows how long it will last
She believes you are a good man
Doesn’t know you’re playing her fast
The energy and life are leaving her now
You got what you wanted but it was never enough
She gave it all so you could take a bow
Instead of hugs and kisses you treated her rough
Take what you can
Who knows how long it will last
She believes you are a good man
Doesn’t know you’re playing her fast
Battered and bruised, her heart is hardened now
She has no fucks to give, no reasons to live
She gave it all so you could take a bow
There’s nothing to hope for, no reason to forgive
The taking is done
She sees who you are
Lies exposed by sun
Try to win her but won’t get far
Look out, she’s come to her senses
She’s a mermaid in a sea of fish
Now you’ll face the consequences
Strong and alone she will flourish
