This necklace
It used to hang around your soft-skinned neck
Like a noose
Suffocating you, stealing your air
When our paths crossed, when our hearts collided
You removed the noose
You told me that I gave you life
I filled your lungs with air
You gave it to me
I vowed not to hang it around my neck
Never to give up my air
But as we went from holding each other's hearts  
To grabbing each other's organs for dear life
Leaving fresh blood on our hands
With those ****** hands
You threw this necklace over my head
And once on my neck
You kept pulling it
Tighter and tighter
Until I couldn't breathe
Until I gasped for air
Unable to find it
Slowly letting me die
When you left
You let it out of your grip
It still hung around my neck
Giving me flashbacks
Painful memories of each piece of life that you stole from me
Now as I stand over the water
Necklace in hand
It hangs over the depth of the river
Facing its death
As I let it go
As it falls
I rise
I take back my life
Finally
Finally
I say goodbye to you
