The pawnbroker's reward
She traced the salty track across her cheek
in search of any source that she may stem.
Her quest revealing nothing so unique
as did the secret hidden in that gem.
To laymen this may be an amethyst,
of no great value in the broadest sense.
A trifling trinket tied around her wrist
Reminder of a secret so immense.
A secret sworn between two sisters who
had shared the same placenta in the womb.
Who on that horrid night, were forced into
decide which ones were destined for their tomb.
This bracelet from their kidnappers who fled,
but left their parents and their brother, dead.
