Ripples bleed over the water,
and I ask if it’s my reflection there,
which distorts into a pretty face.
It doesn’t show the scars everywhere.
Cool and weightless,
I plunge under the depths,
bubbles rising all around me,
am I diving to my death?
I ache,
my body bends to my will.
I ache,
I wish for my heart to fill.
I breathe,
the water into my lungs.
I breathe,
the final verse has been sung.
Arms dive,
and my shoulders are grabbed.
I break the surface,
my strength is sapped.
Eyes frantic to find the one,
who has saved my life again.
My body is numb,
and my body aches to mend.
A twisted code in my heart,
one I’ve tried to understand.
But it will not reveal itself to me,
even when I demand.
Hair clings to my damp skin,
and I’m hardly a slip against strong arms.
Why won’t you let me sink?
Or will you keep my fragile heart from harm?
I don’t want to speak of this,
lower me back into the depths.
Allow me to sprout gills,
Taking in a million breaths.
I’ll be a fish in the sea.
I’ll be bright and hold your eyes,
you will be enchanted by me.
And, perhaps I’ll rise.
But until then,
I’ll be a half-breed.
Trying to fit in,
and committing good deeds.
The arms release me,
and I sink back into the sea.
Bubbles rise around my body,
and I look above me.
My fingers touch the surface,
and I dive once again.
A beast of the ocean,
one who must mend.
I ache,
for one to call my own.
I ache,
for a lover I have known.
I dive,
deeper then the world can see,
I vanish,
deeper then a mortal can see.
Goodbye,
my precious fisherman.
Goodbye,
the beaches sand.
Welcome,
to a new world.
Welcome,
they greet the girl.
The maid of the sea.
The maid of the vast ocean.
