Flicking tails flowing hair,
Silken dresses leaving them all but bare,
Bubbles rising up to the air,
That is all he saw.
Ruby lips and dampened tresses,
Sea born beds and no silk dresses,
All the love that she possess,
That is all he wanted.
A sudden surprise crystal teeth,
Bone cold hands pulling deep,
Deep into eternal sleep,
That is all he got.
