Cross of Chains

Written about the chains I drew on my arm

 

Decorations

Chains crawling up my arm

Attached to my wrists

A heart on my sleeve

Where the chains connect

A cross hanging from one

A heart from another

Tied together

Ribbons hold them fast

Satin that barely moves

Warm against the cold metal

Not steel, or aluminum

But silver

An onyx and silver ring to match

That holds two more chains

That crawl done the back of my hand

Three more down the front

Just decorations

Author's Note

I was bored after midterms and drew a bunch of chains on my left arm in pen. After I was done I wrote this.
