Chained
January 6, 2015
I save every chain
That to me has ever been gifted.
I think of your faces and names
Every time each chain is lifted.
The chains have pendants attached
That serve a purpose none other
Than to bring many memories back
That are held in their dull silver colors.
Tucked away in a small box
In the back of a top drawer
Is where I hide so many pieces
Of jewelry I wear no more.
Gifts of love and gifts of thought
Are things to me my old lovers brought.
The came and went and left behind no trace
Except for the chains I wear beneath my face.
