A Sacred Charm

By Crush_With_Eyeliner

Your gift
(with
strings
attached)
speaks volumes
of the man
you've become.

Slip your
new
sacred charm
around your
neck like a
noose.

Tear old
thoughts
asunder,
small familiar
things,
and write
no requiem
for this
philosophy.

Oh wow...brain fart. I guess that happens when you don't proof read! Thanks, Ains.
