RUBIES

rubies
everywhere
from the wounds in the air

beaten and bruised
ruby rivers
broken and used
body shivers

wake to a scream
stare into the night
it was just a dream
see the clock, ruby light

is it ever enough?
am i ever that close?
is this my life?
or am i a ghost?

the days aren't bright
ruby light
maybe its night
no its only fright

i hear that sound
a long, loud bang
feel my heart pound
let my head hang

all i can see
staring, no vision
ruby red sea
welcoming me to my prison
