you do not
deserve the crown
that you wear so
proudly upon your head.
my love added yet
another precious stone
to the many others
embedded into your ego.
adding value and expense
to something
you're so undeserving of.
something that's not even worthy of your acknowledgement.
i am like other girls,
i am just another gemstone.
but you will never
be something i glorify
because the crown you wear
is made of fake gold.
the amethyst, the rubies and the sapphires
that you take credit for,
that you use to
show your status
were all real.
all those other girls were real
i was real.
i am real—
—but my love for you isn't anymore.
