Beads of a Bracelet

By Anonymous

Around my oval wrist wraps,

beads together by a string,

the ends tied in a tight knot.


The red beads,

are pristine.

Bright with gloss

and letters that

spell out your

initials.


C❤️G

is how it lies

and everyday

I will look down

my heart skips beats.


One day I worry

that the string will break,

all the beads will fall,

one by one they go,

bouncing off the floor

scattering around,

under the dresser,

deep into the white carpet.

and off the trim of the flooring.


There is always one,

that goes unnoticed,

rolling and rolling

under crevices

only to be found.

Til decades later.
