Necklace

Do you remember when we first met?

I had a secret in my sleeves

A weight on my chest

You were shiny and silver

I knew I would corrupt you

You were bought as a gift

A magic you held

The Dragon encircling opal

The Star that my heart held

You grew closer to me

Tender, soft

Like the flesh in my arms

The parts I wished to cut off

You watched as I held a choice

Sitting in rose-colored water

The Dragon threatening opal

The Seconds that made me stop

The sword was thrown away

But battles had yet to be fought

The Dragon becoming my shadow

The curse I had counted as lost

I hated you for a while

For the memories you brought

Covered in rose-colored water

Fear of what I had lost

I tried to replace your silver shine

Forget the shadow behind me

Feel the sun in front

But your opal was the Star

You will always be there

The secret that I keep

That does not mean it controls me

Like my mother once trapped me

She put a scar on my hand

The bite of a dog

You protected me

As I protected my family

You gave me the courage 

Dear Shadow, I love you

You carry the weight in my chest

And my heart on my sleeve
