Jewel
You loved shiny jewels as a child
Beads and bracelets, most of all rings
You bought them weekly with saved money
They are all you have left behind here
Ringing in my mind
You wore them to cover scars
To cover self hatred
To cover lies
To cover the past
Glittering, masking the unknown secrets
They are all you have left behind here
Ringing in my mind
So, I write words to you there
to shine in your head
To dance around your dark dreams
Like jewels, crystals of thoughts
Necklaces of prayers, beads of sounds
They are all I can leave behind here
Ringing in your mind
