In the depths of the ocean, where shadows do play, Lived a mermaid named Layla, in waters of gray. With scales that shimmered like moonlight’s soft gleam, She searched for a ring, the key to her dream.

Her twin flame’s gift, lost in the tide, Held the power to bring him back to her side. Through coral and kelp, she wandered alone, A heart full of longing, a love never shown.

In caverns and trenches, where secrets are kept, Layla’s tears mingled where ancient gods slept. Her faithful companion, in this new life’s embrace, Was lost in the waves, in the ocean’s vast space.

Yet undeterred, with hope’s gentle sway, Layla swam onward, by night and by day. For love’s true connection, in the depths, she did sing, A song for her flame, and the lost, precious ring.
