eves

don't show me your tears
and the fears that had fallen with it...
we share the same pain,
like hundreds of mermaids
cursed to feel the
bitterness of mortals.
we had all waited
for the tide to come
and bring us
forgotten treasures.
indeed,
it had brought us
black pearls.
but weep...
hold on...
be oblivious...
for they were never ours.
