Here I sit upon your chest,
Or perhaps your neck I make my nest.
A gift, a token, perhaps a safe
Where I rest may yet be chafed.
I sometimes glitter, sparkle, too
But I am not always golden.
Set with precious things whose
Presence may embolden.
I may have a chain, yet I'm free
On display for all to see.
How easily I could kill,
If strangulation was your will.
Beautiful or sentimental,
Usually I'm ornamental.
I have a name, it is true,
But has it yet come to you?
