Nine Necklaces

Folder:

Pearls and silver,steel or gold

nine necklaces for me

a sentiment that they all give

before they turn and flee

A pearl to show he really cares

but still that was a lie

one that showed through his facade

and all the things he'd buy.

Silver like the diamond waves

we ran through hand in hand

the last truly good memory

before you made demands.

Steel for all the grey-stained tears

cried when you said goodbye

you simply said you had too go

I felt like I would die.

Gold for the heart once untamed

but now captured by you

to keep your necklace here with me

there's nothing I weon't do.
