Filled with crystal tears
And pearl dreams
A shattered ruby heart
Diamond wishes
And onyx feelings
There is lot's of cut glass too!
And rings of jade
Rings that pierce!
And more than just the ear!
Necklace's of words
both old and new...
That strangle with their intent
Searing their pain into body and soul
Leaving an everlasting depression on
the soul
And all throughout...
The splintered looking glass
Reflecting the jewels endlessly
In every direction
In this tiny glass jewelry box
Deceptively pretty
Welded shut
The contents look pleasing
But would you really want them?
I don't think so
