A Mermaid's Beauty Spell

Part of the reason I did not continue was because I was lying.

I thought if I just stuck around long enough it would break this spell.

My face; my lips, my eyes and my nose they seem like they were all dying.

I could no longer be beautiful anymore because it just did not go well.

My entire body was beginning to blemish again.

The only reason I decided to do this was because I felt like I needed to be perfect.

Now it’s like I wore makeup and it was all washed off by the rain.

At the end of the day will I be a beauty queen or a reject?

My entire life I was never attractive, so I let the witch do some magic.

But I did not ask if it was going to last forever. Now I know it will not.

The moment you kissed me my true self started to show. This is tragic

I won’t be able to love you as the beauty you know. I am leaving because I do not want to get caught.

So, I am writing you this note to let you know and please don’t look for me.

I have packed my things and went back to the sea.
