Necklace how did one day become another beaded on a string upon my neck thin as a hair carrying a heavy burden this straight line of a reckless chain woven fibers pulled together from one thread worn so tightly to skin that it now draws my breath once freely adorned by love’s priceless gem I don’t need you hangs fastened with locket filled first with words now opens to nothingness necklace crafted upon precious stone of missing "I am living a life, i have no wish to live. How did this happen?" Unknown |

The armor is so heavy, isn't it? I hope you're able to put it down soon. It's so hard to penetrate -- from either direction. |

A very powerful and emotional poem. However, I wish it were easier to pull the necklace off and look for a new "jewel." |

The words "of a reckless chain" really caught my mind, making me think hard on the nature of a necklace, and its position here in euphemism ... simply wonderful. |

hard to believe that something so hollow can weigh so much. You are so good at describing these feelings. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
