Killer Tails


She looks so beautiful

He said as he was mesmerized

He thought they were only a myth

It was like she was in disguised

 

He wanted her

Her wanted her for pride

The first one ever to be seen

He would make her his bride.

 

He came up with a plan

He knew she wanted what he had

He threw himself into the ocean.

He knew she will feel sad.

 

The plan worked, she saved him

He thought he won

He thought he was smarter

He began to pull out a gun.

 

Little did he know

That she also had a plan

She knew his intentions

She was smarter than the man.

 

She wanted to kill him

She pulled out a blade.

Stabbed him twice, she wasn't going to get caught.

Because she was only a mermaid.

 

She was not so beautiful after all

She looked so pale.

He took one last glance,

But he only saw her tail.
