Your Bracelet

Link by link I'm counting this chain
And it's reminding me of you
Of all the pain and sorrow and fear
You were bound by when you were here

That every day you faced the world
With this chain one more reminder
You were not completely in control
That you still had not been made whole

I see it and I think of you
I picture you as you are now
Not still here, earthbound, chained down like me
But happy and whole, complete and free
