I have loved before, and I will love again
but over the last few years of my life
I have lived below a sea of sadness
enchanted by a mermaid who promised us eternal joy
she had no soul and sang sad songs which made me deaf to life
. . .
but from those deep depths I will rise again
and grasp a straw that floats to hold me up and swim with all my strength
until I reach that golden shore of happiness again . . .
. . .
