The Last Mermaid

~ 27 ~

That's what it's like to love someone

So fragile, so wonderful

That's what it's like to be loved

Going to bed, your soul becoming a comfort to others lost in the dark

You young, tragic star

Never thinking of what it's like to be the one that stays

Did I benefit to write the final frame?

When I sleep at night, thinking of how much we loved you 

How much we needed you 

Pain connected us, sorrow bound us

I took your trauma, and absorbed it through my pores

So when you say "love the light," the betrayal sets in 

For the dark dreams you ask me to put to bed

But love, love is the patient teacher
