She carries it with her always and everywhere
Around her neck or clutched tightly in hand
This delicate piece of jewelry holds her world
Contains the mysteries of her exquisite elegance
A heart shaped golden locket of hopes and dreams
Within it exists all the things she cannot shine without
The reasons for her flawless, heart stopping beauty
As well as the cause of her inner strengths and desires
It holds the enchantment to bring her into her dreams
While providing her with a most pleasant place to dwell
Surrounds her with friends of the vast animal kingdom
To keep her company and provide occasional counsel
As she is led to her fated haven by two of a feathered kind
One brilliant white and brought by the warmth of the sun
The other pitch black and warning of the dangers of the light
Such guidance she receives only within her endless dreams
This brilliantly shining bauble both a blessing and a curse
Holding the power to set her free, yet keeps her captive
Tricks her into the serenity of such peaceful dreams
While her waking world crumbles to dust all around
Yes, this spellbinding trinket holds her mesmerized
Filling her with the same false hopes that befell her kin
Truth be told of the origin of this treasured lavaliere
Stunning pendant was ever so cleverly crafted from sin
