gentle mermaid br has lost her hope br the boat she was guiding br during a storm has sunk br her heart locket br is broken br a new revelation br comes forward br friendship isn’t working br the love affair is over br the ties that are breaking br are dying to br letting go br for only heartache br comes from hanging on- br be gentle with yourself, br allows you to feel whatever- br let go of your hurts br gather up what remains br ride on in search br of wholeness br for beyond this place br lies new hope br and a fresh start- br it is over.
