Dear Mermaids,
Please stop pretending you do not exist and rise up out of the vast and ominous sea. You don't have to hide any longer. I can see you in my dreams daring me to tell your stories. I am doing the best I can. Please announce you are real and stop haunting me in my slumber.

I can see you on the streets disguised as women with long legs and bandaged hearts. I can hear your souls singing about loss and pain. I can see your souls are shattered and glued together by love. Will you not come to take your sisters home? How long must they be punished for wishing they were something else?
I know you are real, Dear Mermaids, because I see your newest member splashing in my bathtub daily. She misses the sea. Will you not come and collect her tender heart before it is stolen? Before it is broken?

She is so innocent.
She tells me your secrets. She tells me you are real.

I know you are strong. Do not hide away any longer.
Love,
Your Mermaid Sister
