#trinket
_Is it not a paradox that her deception should leave her beauty so unmarked? Her winsome countenance - generously admired - leaves her suitors abject; mere puppets on a string. Verily, the essence of her is as a tarnished trinket. For to mine own soul she appears as jaded as a ***** house quean. Her eyes which once shone with the light of truth unblemished, a colourless and infinite mire overgrown with the entangled falsehoods she has seeded._

From Queen to Quean
I feel like a trinket Put up on a shelf Only to be admired You can only look But please it's not a toy Only taken down for a minute or two Then back to the shelf I go You can't imagine the thoughts or the feelings I may have It's easier to just put me on a shelf How is this better Why am, I not to be enjoyed I know quite alot I got a great sense of humor But this isn't funny Now ya got me feeling like a trinket Can't tell me it's ok I just can't live this way Sitting on a shelf This I cannot do © Jennifer Delong 9/28/18
