moonlight mermaid

i've suffered your bruises silently, never letting you know the depth of your inflictions. whether this aids me, i'm not yet sure. but it certainly makes life easier for you. and for now, that is the salve that keeps me well enough to move.

so, maybe i'm a little strange. a little odd. a little... quirky or eccentric. but according to a friend, i'm the moonlight, and who would question the moonlight. you know it wavers in it's luminescence. you know it shrinks from sight and returns with a vengence that lights the night fully.

and i light nights for them. the ones that open their arms to me and become enveloped in this energy are privy to charms others are blind to.

and a mermaid too. my scales shimmer and navigate me through rough waters. i am the siren that leads them to a little death. so i am the moonlight mermaid. i smell of the sea and glow celestial. i have the power to change tides and swallow men. i am timeless. i am eternal. mythical and fact.
