Charm Bracelet

As the rasping charms grow tired and needy
Bound by the chains, wave-length with the greedy
Portrayals of wisdom, portrayals of lust
The answers of life are found in our trust.

The maker of feelings will make you believe
Hold tight ‘cause those covers will surely deceive
Once the door opens you cannot come out
That’s what our friendship is truly about.

The feeling is nothing I have felt before
The sparkling aura reveals every flaw
Take one more step and it will become clear
Name every gemstone, you’re finally here.

Maybe without you I wouldn’t exist
You are just something I wear on my wrist
How can I count all my fears to this force?
In you, a spirit, that I must endorse.
