the true tale of the little mermaid
came from hans christian anderson
where he had confessed his love for
another poet, who unfortunately, just
so happened to be straight.

the story mirrors me with you; i've
always had this sort of admiration
for you and things grew into a sort
of romantic love for you — you've
always inspired me, but this tale
hurts for i know how poorly it'll end
with me.

and just like the earth and sea meet,
so do i stand and see you from afar.
my love for you is vast, but it seems
as if i cannot reach you with it.

and so, i end it with a silent heartbreak
and an invinsible goodbye. for you and i
are two worlds that would never meet in
the middle.
