My necklace fell away
It's twine worn thin from wear
I looked down in dismay
At each knot tied with care
Each bead was attentively chosen
To compliment my disposition
Could it be fixed? Tied again
Suddenly i felt a change in position
How long would it stay?
How long would it hold true?
I wondered thoughtfully as it lay,
I thought of feelings of you
A tide of Symbolism fell upon me
As i held it to me near
I realized those feeling of maybe
Were just hiding realizations i fear
Fear of loosing something
That had already been long lost
Fear of replacing my lonely longing
with an actuality unbeknownst
I smiled as the veil fell away.
The one that filtered all but you.
No longer is my heart under your sway
It's Amazing! as i let others through
I looked at the Necklace once more,
Astonished to see what i now held.
Grimy twine from being proudly wore
Beads, Industrial machines had meld
No longer carrying aroma's of frankincense,
Instead, stink, sweat and smoke remain
Suddenly it made a surreal sense
Fixing what cannot be fixed is inane.
