Song of the Mermaid-- Stuck in the Last Song on the Radio

I am a casualty of love

a fish out of water

 Feeling lost in familiar places

My spirit is broken

And my mind absent from the body

With scar tissue on my scar tissue

I keep company with shadows

And exiled angels;

 telling me lame stories

Of their lost heaven

 they give me no sympathy

though I tell them 

of my circumstance and how I am

Conquered by this emotion

That took the best of me;

 after I invested my heart 

 it only gave me crosses to bear

And dark souvenirs to carry

leaving me a casualty of love

 Feeling lost in familiar places

 living out the last sad song

I heard on the radio
