I was once a mermaid
Living life in your deep blue sea
Every word of yours would suck my life
Further away from me
I didn't know any better
Not knowing what love would come
I guess you could say I was naive
And even a little dumb
Well now, you're at the bottom
Like the decay of Adam's ribs
And I have risen way above you
Not choking on your macro-algaed fibs
I have one thing to say though
And all I can do is rhyme
Thanks for my sea legs, jackass
But not my wasted time
Author notes
Today, for some reason, everything that comes out either rhymes or is long prose.
So this one rhymes. I hope that's okay, Megs.
It's probably cliche too. Oh well...

Cliche-- definitely not.
Rhyme-- I love it.
This was amazing, truly.
I found myself so much
within this piece, and
pieces of my past- but in
a "sea-aspect" lol..
i LOVE... LOVE this line so much
"like the decay of Adam's ribs"
I found that to be so darn
creative, and have not
heard anything like that..
this whole piece was wonderful,
great flow, great rhyme.. beautifully done!!
Best of luck & thanks for entering
