Very late, when I should have been sleeping...
The Mermaid, My New Friend
I stood on top of the hill
looking down at the ocean and shore
I hear her calling out to me
she needs me, but why I am not sure
I make my way rather slowly
over and down to her
she looks up as I bend down
and said "can you help me sir"
my heart bled as I saw her
helpless there on the shore
I really wanted to help her
and then she asked me once more
I pushed her back in the water
I loved her, yet set her free
too bad my newest friend isn't
any one that's real to me
