101 - Chains
Chains wrapped around her throat.
She wears them like a necklace.
But don’t be confused, she wears them
because she thinks they are pretty.
She knows how to work a clasp,
so they don’t have to stay on forever.
She’s got no money, but she is filled with jewels.
Diamonds dripping from the inside.
They are coming to the surface, one by one.
She has learned to be patient.
So don’t try to rush her.
Let it happen.
Let her happen.
On her timeline.
Not your idea of what hers is meant to be.
She is unpredictable.
And you are calculated.
You crave structure.
But you gotta let her live the way she wants to live.
And she will respect your need for control.
So long as you don’t try to control her.
She only likes to wear the necklaces because she
is the one who decides when they come off.
