This poem was based on Han Christian Andersen's story, The Little Mermaid. Out of the ones I had written so far, I like this one the most.
Mermaid Soul
You knew I loved him,
Yet you tore us apart.
You knew I could sing,
Yet you stole that away, too.
You took so much from me,
Yet I do not regret it.
For you had given me a pair of legs,
And metamorphed my fins and tail.
You gave me a chance,
To see my beloved prince.
I thank you for that.
I thank you for all.
For though I have died,
It was my own doing.
Why? you must ask.
Because.
Because I loved him,
Because he did not love me.
Because he wed the wrong girl.
Because I would die anyways.
You knew I loved him,
Yet you tore us apart.
For he was a human,
And I was not.
For I was a mermaid,
Fallen in love.
For I did not regret it,
I shall wander forever,
Until that day,
When my soul,
Can forever,
Rest.
In.
Peace.
