The Mermaid

She was beautiful

With her glistening aqua fins

Long golden hair

Sparkling emerald eyes

The loneliness that penetrated her gaze

Enhanced the loveliness behind her veil

Her tail swished to the side as she glided

Through the waters

A tear drop that longed to fall

She held onto for strength

The ocean was her home

She filled it with coral and shells

Blue was her favorite color

She swam alone

On and then

Wanting to find the one

Longing for another

Hoping everyday that he would find her

That was her mission

She wanted to feel loved

To be cherished

To be held

She was tired of the darkness

And the seeping cold

So everyday she would ask for the one

To love her to come

She would ask with all her might

Waiting for the other

Then one day he found her

A handsome and protective stranger

He stayed made a home

And told her he would love her

Forever
