Chains (Only As Strong)
©Jerry Axson

Take a picture to remember me by,
just in case you forget the color of my eyes,
hang me pretty in a styrofoam frame,
write it on the back so you don’t forget my name,

Chains only as strong as the weakest link -
loose lips can make mighty ships to sink,
I’m leaving today - no, I won’t be back tomorrow,
this house has wept for years a trail of tears and sorrow...

Banish me to some dark end dreary hall,
someone you once knew who never got the call,
you can tell the story of my imminent demise,
just take a picture so you can look into those eyes,
