Ruby

Buried far in the deepest
deep, are feelings that
in due time will douse
the fires of the
warmest heart, and we’ll
part ways because your kind
of love is far too precious for
my cold blooded
being to ruin, for you
are an alpha lily adorned in
rubies and sapphires
that will only keep their value
only if you promise to
shine far far away from me,
for love itself has different plans for
you than both Cupid’s and mine.
