Silver Heart

The heart dangles but it doesn’t fall,
It is the barrier between me and the rest of the world,
It might be hollow,
It might be small,
It might be just another thing to you,
But when the light catches,
It glows,
Making me glow too,
When light perishes,
The silver chain doesn’t,
It shields,
It lives,
It’s mine.
