Hey, mermaid
I know who you are exactly
Don’t try fooling me with these eyes
I know what you want from me
And what you are up to
Listen, mermaid
Am a human being, a female
Am like you in such a way
But am not a mermaid
I don’t have your instinct
I was born in a coastal region
Where all people head to see
I was a daughter of a sailor
And that what my husband is
I have no children in me
Doctors said am sterile
But lately I feel a living soul
Moving inside me
Look at my eyes, mermaid
My husband think that you are a blessing
That you will bring us wealth
Fool is he to think of you
Being the end of our misery
Only the dead knows the truth
Me and you, we are left here
Sailors think that you are a prisoner
Me and you, we know you are not
One thing am still puzzled about
How come you are still alive
How come you are lively
With no food for longtime
Tell me that am not bearing a part of you
That am not pregnant with a mermaid
Tell me that you are not in my soul and thoughts
And we are not communicating
Quit looking at me like you know nothing
Say it, what you want, what is it you came for
Am not giving any of it to you
And I’ll fight till the end
Stay away from my man
You are not to see him even
If I just felt that you are approaching him
This is it
Oh my God, he might think am crazy
That am not pregnant and am imagining things
He would think am just having the effect of sea
Over me
I should talk to him and tell him that
You are a curse and you will destroy everything in here
I should tell what you are doing
And what is it you are made for
I should tell him about the other night
When you ate up the sailor who harassed me
I should tell him that you did it for me
But is he going to believe me
Last time I had a talk about you with him
He accused me of being insane
Locked me up in my bedroom
While I was begging him to listen
Hey, mermaid
Whatever is your name
Or even if you don’t have one
Please stay away from my man
And you can have all the others
You pushed the captain to kill himself
You pushed him to do other things before
You have all the other guys
But leave my man to me
From where you came to me
And why me, why
Why you appear in my life
Just now when am happy
I wanted to kill you and I know that you know it
I know that you killed the old man’s wife
But why you aren't looking to kill me
Am I really holding your seed in me
to be continued!
