And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave,
Awaits alike th' inevitable hour.

Feelings 
I can't express 
My world feels oppressed 
    Feelings

Ruby;
Like a sweet childhood song
I know you so well
But I still
Can’t get enough

Ruby,
Like the deep blue sea
I’ve seen you a thousand times
But you’re still
My favorite sight

Ruby,

"I'm sorry.

Look—
I hit you,
but you just made
