Seashell Song

I've been stealing secrets from this little conch I nabbed from the sea and sometimes she whispers songs to me Last night her melody was full of sorrow and the verses just yearned to go home where creatures were familiar until my grubby hands came along Oh, they could not resist temptation her spirit was so pretty beneath all those pounds of water so greed denied Shelly's freedom and took that shiny gem away now regret floods my pen with so many I'm sorries as I listen to another oceanic song
