Gem


I flew by, not paying attention to my wondrous view.
A vision in the corner of my eye, not knowing what lies ahead.
There it stood, the gem I once adored.

I flew by, un-amused by the typical road.
Sounds peering through the drums.
There it stood, the eyes, I once knew.

My eyes gleamed, yet the heart did not respond.
The gem that once was, is gone-long gone.

I smirked, I smiled, smitten with glee.
Flying away knowing, he is still, still at bay.
