Sapphire In Fire
I have always seen
but never touched
It has always felt
yet never safe
I like it blue
if not violet
It swayed it's razed tail
just to and fro.
-off my shady sight
despite this light
It escaped and wails
into the submerged rays-
Today I found one
not like you
It's a dead one
shan't move
I tried holding
till time struck
It looks rocky
unlike your bleeding feathers.
A piece is missing
my heart is slipping
It's you I lost
though I never had
My dreams are hue
through me you fled
It's you in blue!
for you, my heart bleeds
even when blinded
and I couldn't see.
It's wounded and voided
only you it needs
to relish.
Heal a sapphire heart
it's me we need
heal a sapphire heart
