Beneath the moonlit waves, where silver seahorses dance, A mermaid’s heart beats slow, in a world of shimmering trance. Her eyes, deep pools of sorrow, gaze upon the distant shore, Where a prince walks alone, forever yearning, evermore.
She sings her haunting lullaby, each note a wish, a plea, For legs to walk beside him, for love to set her free. Her voice, a siren’s whisper, carried by the ocean breeze, Dreaming of a life with him, far from the sapphire seas.
Yet the ocean holds her captive, a prisoner of her kin, Bound by ancient spells, to the kingdom she’s within. With every passing tide, her hope begins to wane, A mermaid’s love, unspoken, lost in the waves of pain.
