Wayward & Seabound-Part 3 (Ending To 'An Enchanting Mermaid' Poem by Jean Dament

There once lived two souls whom both loved the sea,
But falling in love with each other was not meant to be,
One being a young, hearty sailor with a wayward way;
While his devoted mermaid lived near a bay,
Many a day she would sit upon a solid rock & weep;
While her untrue sailor sadly too felt guilt & lost many a night's sleep,
Both would dream of a sweet life they could never share,
Each stealing lonely glances with hearts broken beyond repair;
Since life dictated they go on their own ways;
While at times being apart for many days;
Thus in the end their love had to be spent alone & at a distance;
And each had to live out their own life's sad existence.
