There were two streams in which i swam...and they were both my kinda water work,...one though had me continuesly saying damn.
it took me under,...where i couldnt breath,,....it kept me there...that mermaid wouldnt let me leave.
Told me just the right things,...the best lines...to make me not want any air...to make me forget about all the others who I had that really did care.
Let me get oxygen...when i couldnt handle the pressure anymore....then pulled me back in with words of romantic toxin.
And when the water got shallow and she had to go through the pain of having no air to breath from being above that water....she left...and her absence only made my heart grow fonder..
Oh but floating further down,..when that water again reached deepness....and i was back in a world where i had no control....there came back the mermaid mistress.
Begging my name...telling me all the words thats she knew would make me love her....and telling me she loved me the same.
She avoided all the questions i asked that she couldnt find an answer to connive....and would kiss me on the cheek when i wanted to forget she was even alive.
Through out the many times she left me to drown....I yelled to her....i know she heard me but she acted like she didnt hear one sound.
I had friends pulling me to safety...telling me to stay away from that mermaid...and she laughed at my sadness when on the shore i laid.
I asked God for mercy...and to show me the right way...as i tried to stop cursing.
God pulled through for me....showed me the door way...and all i needed to see..
As i splashed into the water once more. And traveled all the way to the bottom of that ocean floor.
And there i found---- her lips pressing against another she would soon also leave to drown.
My eyes were not confused,...were not amused....from her tatics i was use to being used....regardless though, from the pain i was not soothed.
But i had seen what was needed to be seen.....and that night crying from the balcony....I crushed hers and my dream.....threw it to the waters where she probably thought i would be back again....but i tossed it to let it fade away from all the thoughts it made in my head that would never be anything but mean....and to forever float down that heartbreaking Mermaids stream....
