Being Human


There’s a mermaid on my ceiling tonight,

Bereft of her beloved sea.

She hides her face in her hands,

Her hair comes down to her knees.


Full of despair, she cries out-

He’s so far away from me tonight,

I’m so far away from love tonight,

The distance- too long to bridge.


The faith has dried up in me,

Flowing into salty seas.

The shadows fade on wall by dawn,

And I wake up... alone again.
