Analysis of Atacia: A Tale of Tail
Atacia, Atacia, why have you gone?
I've been sailing days & nights searching upon seas & ocean
The lockets of pearl you've entrusted me keeping
Turned dull & gray as my heart shed tears...crying!
Oh, Atacia, my beloved tale of tail
Dancing with the ripples, singing underneath
How long would the oceans will hid you abyss?
Yearning for your smile, of your kisses & embrace!
Come, Atacia, my precious one in tail
Lit up this pearl of yours & make it glow again for once
But, Atacia, if you dare not to come
Death be my escape to drown upon ocean
Let this tale be undone
So to keep on writing for the years to come
Let this tale be fell off short
And folks be waiting for the chapters of your book
My dear Atacia hear my weeping
For the centuries to come I'll keep you chasin'
If this were a spell how could you dare?
How in the world you only come as tale?
