A Siren's Daughter
Jamie
You have eyes of the sea
With a purple lining
Along the sunset
Anyone can see the passion you own
It’s like a fire in your eyes
Strong and passionate
Fierce like flames
Yet calm like the ocean
Jamie
What the hell!
You are so contradictory
You are calm like the sea
And yet you are also fierce like a strong fire
What is the difference between you and me?
You are like the sea
I am the sea
You are like fire
I am fire
There’s a silver lining in your soul
You have the ability to stop any war
And destroy any demon
But first you must destroy your own
And your flames will always help guide you
As will the serenity of the sea.
