The pearl writing to Jovana

You held me when you were feeling sad
You carried me when you were smiling,
I listened to your heart beat faster
I glistened even when you weren’t trying –
You twirled me,
You broke me,
You restrung me.
Your hands seized me, when you tried to run
But you didn’t realise I wasn’t going anywhere,
I was stronger,
I was never done.
You used me as a thrill
A fascination,
Beauty, charm and kill.
Don’t you understand I’m by your side,
I’m something you cannot set free,
Because you know I’m tied.
I love it when I dance with you,
I love the rhythm of your body.
I love when you’re cold you wrap me under your layers,
And in summer you charm me in your silk—
If I asked you to lay me down,
You would take me to the safest place,
I was never in line for the chase,
Lay down your guard.
I’m sick of feeling so small,
Against you,
I constantly feel like I have hit a wall,
Why do we keep clashing together? –
I’m never first
Is it because I’m an ornament to you,
I’m underestimated,
Why do I constantly have to get in this queue?
I’m fixated on only you. –
How many times do I have to prove this?,
I’ll be there today,
I’ll be there tomorrow,
I’ll only leave if you throw me away.—
I’m always speechless,
I’m stone cold,
Just wear me today.
Don’t leave me astray
When you know I’m the gleam of your every smile.
You can see when you press down on me,
Even when you walk all over me,
I’ll stay strong and never break.
It’s you, who has to learn to trust,
That even if I’m an ornament to you,
I will stay by your side
And walk with you,
with pride.
