my nine necklaces
pearls, silver, steel and gold
they are not for you
or for anyone to hold.
In my closet
in a chest for none to see
if you're looking
so sad, you're not for me.
Nine necklaces
I must forget are mine
moving on
pretending I am fine.
Insecurities
they plague me in my head
daily find that they leave me
full of dread.
Nine necklaces
forgotten in my mind
protecting me, my heart is paper-lined.
Constantly
I wonder what i'll do
I know with certainty
i'm losing sense of you.
of who you or me or them?
i should make you a necklace

Much Love
