The Locket

The locket so very beautiful,
on it was a rose,
why she wouldn't wear it,
only God knows.

she hung it neatly on her wall,
lay and stare at it every night,
take it down and kiss it,
after every fight.

then one day it happened,
breathing his last breath,
her boyfriend was in a car crash,
putting him to d****.

her life completely shattered,
all she could do was cry,
lay in bed all day and night,
asking God why?

why did God do this,
hold them so far apart,
didnt he realize what he was doing,
to her love-sick heart?

laying there filling her head,
with thought after thought,
finding herself staring at the
locket her boyfriend had bought.

jumping up to get it,
around her neck it would lay,
never coming off,
thats where the locket would stay.

every morning get up,
make sure the locket was there,
to take it off in the shower,
she wouldn't even dare.

about a month or two,
after her boyfriends d****,
she almost met the same fate,
of breathing her last breath.

instead she was put in the hospital,
though it didn't matter to her,
until she looked at her locket,
and a thought did occur.

had she ever opened the locket?
had she ever looked inside?
no, she had been to afraid of what she wouldn't find.

so picking up the locket,
hands trembling in fear,
wanting to do this quickly,
for she knew her d****was near.

with a small click,
she opened up the locket,
she saw two pictures as a small piece of paper fell to the floor before she caught it.

a picture of her and her boyfriend,
came clearly into view,
then she looked down to the floor and written on the paper, was i love you.

looking back at his picture,
he was perfect, not one flaw,
then she closed her eyes,
it was the last thing that she saw...
