The Ruby in The Dark

Like a ruby in the dark

I’m the friend you’ll never meet

Loneliness is my trademark

Leaving gifts of pain at your feet

Like a lover in deceit

I’ll never be truly yours

Like a roman solder in defeat

Out of those beautiful eyes of yours, the tears will pour

You came with the hope for peace and love

But you’re a fool with a heart I’ll break

For I never listen to the wings of the dove

So you see, you should, you must, me, forsake.
