In shadowed depths where sirens weep,
A mermaid's song, forever sleep.
Her hair as black as starless night,
Her eyes like pearls, bereft of light.
In sands of sorrow she lies still,
A fleeting dream, a whispered thrill.
Her voice now lost in silent waves,
Her beauty wrapped in salted graves.
Her heart, a shell, long turned to stone,
In depths unknown, she dwells alone.
No mortal eye shall see her pain,
No earthly hand shall break her chain.
Beware the call of ocean's deep,
Where lonely mermaids cease to weep.
For in that realm of ghostly dreams,
No sunlight warms, no moonlight gleams.
She waits in darkness, lost to time,
A haunting echo, a tragic rhyme.
So heed her tale, and bend your knee,
To the silent song of the dead sea.
