Rubies

Rubies

 

I didn’t know what It was,

I only knew It was because

 

I tried to suppress It,

But only made It throw a fit

 

It was there inside my head,

Making me wish I was dead

 

I needed to let It out,

To scream and to shout

 

Pounding beneath my skin I could see,

I knew It needed to be free

 

I didn’t know what to do,

So I did what I knew

 

I raised my arm and opened up wide,

I bite down, gasped, than I cried

 

Liquid rubies fell with shame,

Falling into perpetual flame

 

It was flowing out of me,

This I could see

 

Icy waters flowed over,

Lifting a weight of my shoulder

 

I never liked this place,

With rubies smeared across my face

 

But It was leaving me,

I would finally be free

 

And as always It will return,

And Its existence will be reaffirmed

 

And as always I will return to the same dark place,

With rubies smeared across my face
