A Gift of Sadness

It contains the happiness of the world
The joy of my world
It burns a fire of passion against my neck
A naked truth that I am to never forget
The gold, it twinkles like stars
Shining through a mind of darkness

As delicate as a daisy
As fragile as my Daisy
My happiness a flower
A bloom bound to grow, but destined to die
A ghost that forever haunts me
Whispering along my heart

A gift of sadness
A reminder of happiness
But I cannot dwell on the past
I mustn’t mourn her death
She’d have wanted me to celebrate her life

The locket, a symbol of life
A symbol of her life
