From blood rose thorn to orchid black,
they twist the aching heart
As salty brine crawls from her eyes,
now seeming less than smart
To swoon the curl of demon boys,
investing all her soul
Time destroys the every hope,
a loss of all control
The light of moon does show her sin,
dripping with deceit
Now innocence but torn to shreds,
lying at her feet
Lies of life are weighed in steel,
burden bore alone
To carry fry and raise the whelp,
never to atone
Ages bring the light of day,
the joy of smiles brought
Praying one can change their path,
and learn from lessons taught

very well done
I epically like the lines:
As salty brine crawls from her eyes,
now seeming less than smart
has a sort of Mer person feeling to it
