The siren that cant sing

Walking along the beach
I hear a great screach
I cover my ears
As i hold back the tears
What is that sound
I want to smash my head on the ground
Is it a banshee
Maybe i should go see
Hesitantly i walk through the sand
Fearing what I'd fined
But what i did was not what i had in mindย
There on a rock
Sat a fair maden
But what she was wearing
Was very degradingย
Looking closer through the dark
I found out why
Instead of legs
She had a tail
She was a mermaidย
And the horrifying sound
Came from her lips
As she tried to sing
The more she triedย
The more pain she'd bringย
Speaking up
I said
Please stop
your hurting my head
She paused for a secondย
Then burst into tearsย
Im a sirenย
Why cant i singย
Im a failure
Im worthless
Will i ever lore men
Will i ever be good enoughย
Whenย
When
Sighing i speak againย
You lored me in
I'll be your first
Come on
Do your worst
The young siren
Suddenly looked up
All her tears had stopped
Smiling she asked
Are you lyingย
Fear not fair maiden
I shall not lie
You can take meย
All i want
Is your goodbye
Before i die
Her heart softenedย
And grew warm
Thank you and goodbye
He smiled at these parting words
Than in the silent night
He was gone
